Waste from home medical care, such as used syringes

Please be careful about how to dispose of used syringes and other items.

In recent years, due to advancements in medical technology, more people are utilizing home healthcare, and items such as used syringes and intravenous catheters, which were traditionally disposed of only by medical institutions like hospitals, are now being discarded as waste from households.

These items cannot be collected by the city due to the risk of infection from needle-stick accidents and other reasons. Please return them to your regular pharmacy or medical institution (hospital or clinic) after use.

We ask for your cooperation in thoroughly separating waste to prevent collection accidents.
