Disposing of Needles and Syringes
- Place needles and syringes in a hard plastic (ex: laundry detergent bottles) or metal container with a tightly secured lid. (The container should be labeled “Syringes,” “Sharps,” or “Needles.”)
- Keep the container out of the reach of children and pets.
- When the container is full, seal and reinforce its lid with heavy-duty tape.
- Dispose of the sealed container in the household trash. Learn more.
Important Note:
Please do not bring your used needles and syringes to any Burleson fire station, as they do not have a way to dispose of them.
