Garbage associated with home medical care, such as used hypodermic needles

　In recent years, with the development of medical technology, the number of people who use home care has increased, and used injection needles and IV catheters, which used to be discharged only from medical institutions such as hospitals, are now discarded as garbage from each household. I came to come.

　This garbage cannot be collected by the city because there is a risk of infection from needlestick accidents. After use, please return it to your pharmacy or medical institution (hospital/clinic).

　We ask for your cooperation in thoroughly separating garbage to avoid collection accidents.
