Will the garbage crew take my used hypodermic needles ("sharps")?

For the safety of all involved, we ask that you NEVER put used hypodermic needles ("sharps") in your trash. Accidental pokes and the spread of disease are a very serious risk to the workers who handle your trash both at the City level and at the transfer stations. Your pharmacy should have information about disposal options for these items, or you can read about recycling/disposing of used hypodermic needles on the Clark County website.
