How do I dispose of unused medicine, sharps, epi-pens and other medical syringes?
The Brentwood Police Department has a medicine disposal container inside the police department lobby. According to the St. Louis County Waste Code Section 607.897, residents can dispose of sharps in their regular trash. To protect sanitation workers, the sharps must be packaged in rigid, leak-proof and puncture-resistant containers (detergent bottle, for example), which are sealed prior to disposal.
Please DO NOT put these containers in the recycling!
