Additional Information

Medical Disposal 

Do not dispose of prescription medications by flushing them down a toilet or drain, as this will contaminate our water system. For information about local medication disposal, visit www.sheriff.org. 

Sharps (Needle) Disposal

Sharps are considered biohazardous waste and should never be thrown directly into the trash. For more information on the safe disposal of sharps, please contact the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at 1-800-643-1643 or [email protected] org. The information they can provide for your state includes:

  • Types of sharps containers that can be used.
  • Disposal programs in your area.
  • How to label your sharps disposal containers.
  • How to secure the lid of your sharps disposal container.
  • Whether sharps disposal containers can be thrown away in the common trash.

Rechargeable Batteries 

Mobile phones, remote control toys, laptops, and power tools are just a few household items that use rechargeable batteries, which contain cadmium or lithium, both of which are considered toxic heavy metals. It is illegal to dispose of rechargeable batteries in regular trash. 

Visit https://www.call2recycle.org/ for a list of drop-off sites.

Household Batteries

Common household alkaline batteries no longer contain mercury and are safe to dispose of in your regular garbage.
