“Sharps” is the term used for hypodermic needles, pen needles, lancets, and other home-use devices used to penetrate the skin for medication delivery.
Proper disposal of sharps is critical. When improperly disposed, sharps pose a serious hazard to the many employees who work at our Materials Recovery Facility where trash and recycling is sorted.
