Safely Dispose of Needles and Medication in Wrentham

Wrentham residents are encouraged to dispose of their used syringes and needles, as well as unused medication, in the disposal kiosk located in the Wrentham Public Safety building lobby. Residents are asked to collect their syringes and needles in hard plastic detergent or bleach bottles, no larger than 1 gallon size with screw-on tops, to deposit into the kiosk. Red biohazard sharps containers no larger than 1 gallon are also acceptable.
Two liter soda bottles, clear plastic containers, and plastic bags or baggies are not allowed in the kiosk.
Improper disposal of needles can pose a health risk to the public and waste workers, as well as transmit disease, and are no longer allowed in trash or recycling. The Wrentham Public Health Nurses have a small quantity of 1.4 qt. sharps containers available. Please call the Nurses Office for more information (508-384-5485).
