Medical Waste Disposal Questions From Livonia and Pointe Coupee Parish
Can I take sharps to a pharmacy or fire station?
Some pharmacies, hospitals and local programs accept small household sharps containers, and some do not. Call ahead and ask. Programs differ by city and county, and the local health department can point to the right place.
Is this medical advice?
No. This page explains the process of medical waste removal. It is not medical, legal or insurance advice. For exposure or symptoms, contact a doctor or Poison Control, and for rules in your area, ask the local health department.
Can medical waste go in the regular trash?
Needles and soaked items should not go in household trash. They can injure sanitation workers and spread germs. Rules for small household amounts of sharps vary by city and county, so the local health department can say what applies. A cleanup team can take anything larger or anything from another person's care.
Do you remove waste left behind after a death?
A cleanup team can remove medical waste left after a death, such as needles, soaked supplies or contaminated linens. If the death involved a crime or an investigation, work starts only after authorities release the property. Ask about discreet arrival when you call.
Is a sharps container the same as a biohazard bin?
Not exactly. A sharps container is a rigid, puncture-resistant box made for needles and similar items. A biohazard bin or bag holds other contaminated waste, such as soaked dressings. A cleanup team uses both and seals them for transport.
What about old medicine?
Medicine is usually kept apart from medical waste. A pharmacy, a take-back program or the local health department can say what applies where you live. A cleanup team can tell you whether it takes medicine or only sharps and clinical waste.
