SHARPS COLLECTION PROGRAM
in affiliation with
Sturdy Memorial Hospital
The Mansfield Fire Department will gladly accept your PROPERLY CONTAINED (in an approved BIOHAZARD container) sharps.
All sharps (used or not) must be in a Bio Hazard container. The Mansfield Fire Department was given a supply of 75 biohazard containers. They will be given out on a first come first serve basis to people as they come in to drop off sharps. We can no longer accept sharps in any other type of container. (No milk cartons, laundry detergent bottles, coffee cans etc.) When you arrive with your sharps that are not in an approved biohazard container, we will give you a container (while supplies last) and ask that you take it home, transfer your sharps into the biohazard container, and then return the biohazard container when it is completely full.
When you arrive at the Plymouth Street Fire Station, you will be escorted to the drop off area where you, yourself, will place your biohazard box in the collection container. Members of the Mansfield Fire Department will no longer physically handle and deposit the items for you.
Please, do not ever leave your sharps container at an unattended fire station. If you happen to come by when no one is available to escort you to the sharps disposal area, please keep your sharps and return at another time.
We thank you for taking the time to properly dispose of your sharps.
If you have any questions about dropping off your sharps,
please call (508) 261-7493, or email wbacklund@mansfieldma.com
