| Sharps Can Now Be Picked Up at Resident’s Front Doorstep |
As of September 1, 2008, it is illegal to dispose of sharps waste in trash or recycling containers (Section 118286 of the California Health and Safety Code). Sharps are defined as hypodermic needles, pen needles, lancets, and other devices that are used to penetrate the skin for the delivery of medications derived from a household.
To accommodate the residents of Elk Grove, Allied Waste is now picking up approved sharps containers from the front doorstep of resident’s home after they have called to make an appointment.
To make an appointment, call Allied Waste at 635-2500, to pick up the approved sharps container, free of charge, from your front doorstep between the hours of 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Keep this in mind for sharps pick-up:
- Sharps must be in an approved container, which can be purchased from your doctor’s office or local pharmacy.
- Sharps must be completely enclosed in container. They cannot spill out of the top.
- Container must be labeled as “sharps container”.
- Container must be sealed and closed. It cannot be broken, split or damaged.
- The container must not contain any prescription drugs.
Sharps container will not be picked up without an appointment.
