Sharps Disposal
Used needles and other sharps are dangerous to people if not disposed of safely. They can injure people and spread infections that cause serious health conditions. The most common infections are:
- Hepatitis B (HBV),
- Hepatitis C (HCV), and
- Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
Safe sharps disposal is important whether you are at home, at work, at school, traveling, or in other public places such as hotels, parks, and restaurants.
