Sharps Disposal

There is a state-wide ban on the disposal of needles, syringes, and lancets (collectively known as "sharps") in household trash. Residents can no longer dispose of these items in that manner. The Sharps Kiosk at the Municipal Office Building is now located in the Board of Health Office. 

Proper Disposal

Requirements:

• Sharps must be in a tightly sealed puncture-proof container (See attachment for examples). Individual or loose sharps will not be accepted. The Health Department reserves the right to refuse containers that are not deemed safe.
• You must be a Millbury resident. This program is not for businesses.
• HOURS OF OPERATION:
  • Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday - 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
  • Tuesday - 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
  • Friday - 8:00 a.m. to NOON (Please note that there is no place to leave sharps on Friday after 12:00 p.m.)

Non-residents should reach out to the Health Department within their own community for safe disposal options.

For the safe disposal of medications, please use the disposal kiosk located in the entrance to the Police Station. 

Thank you!
