Oswego Health Accepts Medical 'Sharps' for Disposal at Several Locations
Sharps, such as used needles and syringes, can be brought to Oswego Hospital Services Center Suite G50 and to the reception desk of The Manor at Seneca Hill, Monday through Friday 9AM to 4:30PM excluding holidays. You may also bring sharps to Oswego Health's Urgent care centers in Central Square and Fulton during the hours of 9AM to 9PM.
Sharps must be placed in a puncture and leak proof container. Sharps of any kind should not be stored in soda cans, coffee cans, milk cartons, glass bottles or any containers that are not puncture resistant.
Bleach and laundry detergent bottles are an example of a recommended storage container for used sharps.
You should never leave medical waste, such as needles or syringes, at the drop site unattended.
