MEDICATION DISPOSAL FOR BUSINESSES

Medication drop boxes are for use by the public only. For business disposal, contact Gundersen’s Environmental Compliance department. Phone: 608-775-1679 Email: [email protected]

SHARPS DROP BOXES

La Crosse County residents now have safer options to dispose of needles and syringes. A collaborative effort has allowed for the purchase of 2 sharps boxes to be installed on the north and south side in the City of La Crosse.

Remember these three words: collect, protect, and respect. Collect: The drop boxes are a safe collection option for all needles and syringes. Two drop boxes are available for the public to use. These are located near the boat ramp behind Hardee’s on the north side and in the King Street Alley between 4th and 5th Streets on the south side of the City. Protect: Help us keep our community safe. If you find a/needle(s) in the community, we prefer that you call your local law enforcement using the non-emergency number. [In the City of La Crosse, this is 785-5962.] Respect: All needles should be disposed of in a safe and proper way. The best options are: In a sharps container (that is less than 2/3 full), at a drop box, or through a syringe exchange program. It is not safe to put needles loosely in the trash, on the ground, in recycling, down the toilet, or within reach of children.

SHARPS DISPOSAL FOR BUSINESSES

Sharps drop boxes are for use by the public only. For business disposal, use the Household Hazardous Materials facility. Fees apply and preregistration is required. This service is by appointment only.
