Qué hacer con los objetos punzocortantes usados en Colorado
Coloca los objetos punzocortantes usados en un recipiente fuerte de plástico que sea a prueba de perforaciones
¿Tienes un cortador de agujas? Cuando se llene, puedes desecharlo según las regulaciones de tu estado o localidad. Hay más información aquí.
Coloca el recipiente de plástico en la basura del hogar - ¡no lo recicles!
Si un recolector de basura no quiere recoger un recipiente rojo para objetos punzocortantes, refiérelo a tu agencia estatal de residuos.
Los objetos punzocortantes nunca deben tirarse sueltos a la basura o al inodoro.
Los objetos punzocortantes que se retraen después de usarse, o que son muy pequeños, deben desecharse igual que todos los demás.
Si desea llevar su recipiente sellado a un programa de desecho de objetos punzocortantes en su comunidad, hay centros de acopio en varios condados.
