• The following items will not be accepted:
  
  • Any drug in liquid form
  • Aerosol type medications
  • Hypodermic needles and Syringes
• Currently residents are permitted to discard used syringes with the safety caps installed with their regular garbage using a rigid container (coffee container, or laundry bottle) sealed with duct tape.
• Residents may also use a bio-hazard container and pay for bio-hazard disposal service through several companies. Occasionally a doctor's office, hospital or other medical provider will offer disposal service to their clients.
