Home Sharps
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?
