The Village POA department of public works
urges members to adhere to the following state regulations for safe disposal of
syringes and other sharps to prevent injuries to sanitation workers.
Used syringes and other sharps should be temporarily stored
in a leak-proof container, such as a chemically-disinfected thick plastic,
puncture resistant container (such as liquid soap, laundry soap or fabric
softener containers). Be sure the container has a cap or lid that can be
tightly secured to protect against any accidental exposure. Be sure the
container holding the disinfected needles and sharps is securely closed before
double bagging for disposal as regular solid waste.
For questions regarding these guidelines, contact the
Arkansas Department of Health Medical Waste Program at 501- 661-2621.
