Disposing of Sharps

Non-Contaminated Sharps

These are sharps that are free of biohazardous, chemical and radioactive contamination.

• Put non-contaminated sharps (no broken glass) in a sharps container, and label it "Non-Contaminated Sharps."
• Deface or remove any existing biohazard labels.
• Bring full sharps containers to one of the approved medical waste pick-up locations (586 Minor Hall) and place them next to the cell culture dry biohazard waste container.
