Free Disposal for City of Superior and Douglas County Residents
Douglas County Recycling and SMDC Superior are jointly sponsoring a free sharps collection for Douglas County residents.  The service is a free ongoing service, not a one day event.            

WHERE?
Duluth Clinic Pharmacy at                      
SMDC - Superior                            
3500 Tower Avenue, Superior                        
(Use Main Entrance)

WHEN?
Monday - Friday
10:00 am - 5:00 pm

HOW?
Get a biohazard safe container free at the Duluth Clinic Pharmacy.  Take the container home and fill it with your used sharps (needles, syringes, and lancets).  When it is full, return it to the Duluth Clinic Pharmacy to exchange your full container for an empty one.      

     
Additional Information        
To reduce the health risks presented by used sharps, the State of Wisconsin adopted rules in 1994 that say sharps must be safely treated, packaged, and disposed of but cannot be put in the garbage or recycling containers - not even when placed in a can or bottle.
