SHARPS News!
Effective September 1, 2008, the State has made it illegal to dispose of SHARPS (needles, syringes, carpules, lancets, endo files, prefilled pens, etc) in the trash or in landfills.  City residents can dispose of their SHARPS in a legal and safe manner (free of charge) at one of the following: S.A.F.E. Collection Centers; Mobile Collection Events; or Community Clean-Up Events.  For location and schedules call 1-800-98-TOXIC, 3-1-1, or by accessing SAFE Center Locations or Collection Schedule.  Residents that bring sharps to one of the locations listed above can receive a free SHARPS container for safe handling of their home generated SHARPS.

In addition, the Bureau of Sanitation has also developed a program to assist home-bound residents that are unable to deliver SHARPS to a location listed above.  Home-bound residents may call 1-800-98-TOXIC for details.

* Warning: Disposing of household chemicals in your trash, storm drains or sewers damages the environment, and is AGAINST THE LAW. Illegal dumping carries a minimum fine of $5000 per day per violation up to $100,000 per day per violation or imprisonment (Section 25189.5, Health & Safety Code).  Take these items to our S.A.F.E. Centers.  The City of Los Angeles also operates the "HAZMOBILE" drop-off program to provide for the safe and legal disposal of your unwanted household chemicals.  (Schedule)
