State Law prohibits the disposal of used home-generated syringes and other medical sharps in the regular trash or recycling containers. This type of hazardous waste requires separate processing. Medical health care providers such as Kaiser, Peninsula Hospital and Seton Medical Center offer programs for their patients. Please contact them directly to find out availability for disposal at their locations.
