Logan County Department of Public Health now offering safe residential disposal method for sharps
Time sensitive opportunity for at home collection containers for syringes, needles and lancets

[February 26, 2024] 

The Logan County Department of Public Health (LCDPH) is currently offering a free residential sharps collection program which is made possible through a grant from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.

You can stop at LCDPH to pick up your free sharp’s container. When the container is filled with used syringes, needles, or lancets, you can return the container to LCDPH and the department will arrange for proper disposal of the container.

Upon dropping off the full container, another container can be picked up if supplies are available. The sharps containers must be returned to LCDPH by no later than June 21, 2024.

For more information regarding the residential sharps collection program at LCDPH, please contact Kara Davis at 217-735-2317. For more information regarding health department services, you can visit the Logan County Department of Public Health website at WWW.LCDPH.ORG.
