- 01
Contain it safely
Place sharps in a sealed, puncture-resistant container — a proper sharps bin if you have one, or a rigid sealed plastic container.

Bring it in

- 03
We dispose of it correctly
Sharps are handled through the proper clinical-waste stream, keeping them out of household and public waste.
