Health Services offers free sharps containers for needle disposal. All individuals using injectable medications are required to dispose of them properly to prevent accidental needle sticks and injury to others. On request, sharps containers are available at the Health Services office. Sharps containers should be returned to the Health Center for proper disposal, and a new one dispensed as needed. Do not place needles or sharps containers in the trash.

In addition, sharps containers can be found in the following locations on campus:

  • Seymour Union- Gender-neutral restroom
  • Post Lobby- restroom
  • Williston basement restroom
