§ 4146 Pharmacy Sharps Container Returns

• •Pharmacies can take back used needles and syringes from people.
• •The needles must be in a special container called a 'sharps container'.
• •This helps keep people safe from getting hurt by used needles.

You have used needles at home because you take medicine that needs them.

You can take those needles to a pharmacy if they are in a special container made for sharp things. The pharmacy will take them back so no one gets hurt.
