How to Dispose of Used Needles & Syringes


	FREE SHARPS DISPOSAL The Health Department will now collect used sharps (syringes and lancets) from Westford residents only. Collection sites are at the Health Department located on the 2^nd floor of Town Hall, or at the Kiosk located in the Police Department entry way. All materials must be delivered in a sharps container and it is requested that containers are full before dropping them off. This will help avoid unnecessary costs pertaining to disposal of the materials. No commercial businesses may use this service. Please follow these directions to ensure proper disposal of sharps containers: No Loose Needles All sharps must be disposed of in a sharps container If you do not have a personal sharps container, you may use a puncture resistant container such as a one gallon bleach/laundry bottle; a one pound sealed and taped coffee can or a 1.5 liter plastic soda bottle. No glass containers. No plastic or paper bags. Do not leave any items outside the kiosk or office. Ask for assistance if Kiosk is full.- Call 978 692-5509 or bring to the Town Hall in Health Department office. Click here for Easy to Print Flyer
