What would it be like if there were no sharps disposal services in Rochester and Monroe County? Fortunately, that’s far from reality. The city of Rochester, Monroe County and the state of New York are committed to the proper handling of discarded needles and other sharps that can be dangerous to waste workers, the environment, and the public.
The New York State Department of Health (DOH), Wadsworth Center and the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) work in tandem to ensure that there are procedures in place for the safe disposal of sharps and medical waste across New York. They have approved many community venues that offer syringe collection drop boxes (or “kiosks”) for the safe collection of used sharps from households.
