Safely disposing of used sharps is important. Sharps that are not disposed of safely may cause injury. However, disposal rules and regulations vary across states and localities.

Established in 2002, SafeNeedleDisposal.org helps people learn how to safely dispose of used sharps. The project is currently run by NeedyMeds.org, a CSIP partner.
