  Sharps Disposal

A free home generated sharps (syringes/needles) recycling program is available to residents of the Costa Mesa Sanitary District.

Residents can safely dispose of used sharps by utilizing a drop box at the pharmacies below.  It is no longer necessary to use a purpose made sharps container.  We can now accept needles placed in any type of rigid, sealed container such as plastic water bottles, soda bottles, laundry soap, bleach or coffee containers, etc.
