How
Should I Dispose of Used Needles and Syringes?
The Bay Area Sharps Disposal
Program was designed as a community service to assist the
residents of Hillsborough
County with a safe and environmentally sound method for
disposing of used needles or "sharps".
The improper disposal of sharps
threatens the safety of every member of the community, as
they may be contaminated with hepatitis, HIV, and/or other
serious diseases.
