Home Sharps

Every so often we get emails from our Director of Resident Life who plays a maternal role by consistently nagging us about how we should conduct our lives in the school's apartment housing. Reminiscent of the dorms, huh? Most of the time, they are along the lines of "be respectful of your neighbors", "don't throw stuff out the windows", and "don't forget to recycle". But this one was so special, I just had to share.

It has come to our attention that hypodermic needles are being disposed of in a garbage bag through the trash chute. Anyone disposing of hypodermic needles must comply with public health regulations. Here are the guidelines for disposing of hypodermic needles, according to the NYC Department of Sanitation:

Clip needle from syringe after use, place both needle and syringe in a leak proof, puncture resistant container such as a heavy duty plastic laundry or bleach jug. When the container is full, seal the lid securely, tape it closed, label the container "Home Sharps" and place the container with your garbage for household Non-Recyclables collection. Do NOT place a "Home Sharps" container in a recycling bag or container.

This is an extremely serious matter and I expect immediate cooperation from all residents.

Please contact me if you have any questions.


Seriously, in law school? Who has time for that kind of stuff?

Team! Thx.
