Prepare Your Garbage

1.	Use the garbage can or container located at your multi-family complex.
2.	Review the list of What Goes in the Garbage.

Medical needles or "sharps" if placed in the garbage, must be contained in a rigid puncture-proof container less than 1-gallon in size. Empty 2-liter pop bottles or 1-gallon milk jugs are acceptable when capped, taped and labeled "Do Not Recycle."

• Check with your pharmacy or doctor for other disposal options.
• Check with www.sharpsinc.com for additional disposal options.
