Sharps Disposal by Mail^TM Discount Program -

Improperly disposed syringes, hypodermic needles, and other "sharps" are a serious hazard to our families and community. Fortunately, the Sharps Disposal by Mail^TM Discount Program can eliminate the risk by providing you with a sharps container, a government-approved return sharps mail back box, protective 3-ml bag liner and a 4-part simplified tracking form. The cost of destruction and mailing, as well as confirmation of destruction, is included in the purchase price.

To make it even easier for you, Waste Management has partnered with Rite Aid (3848 Castro Valley Blvd., Castro Valley, CA 94546; (510) 886-3341) to offer a discount to Castro Valley Sanitary District residents when you present the card included in the November 2005 bill, or a copy of the CVSan/Waste Management bill, or ID at time of purchase.

For more information about the proper disposal of home-generated sharps, talk to your Rite Aid pharmacist today.
