How to Dispose of Medical Sharps in Santa Ana, CA
Do not trash HHW in Santa Ana. Use Orange County’s free HHW Collection Centers year-round (Tue–Sat 9 a.m.–3 p.m.) for paint, batteries, automotive fluids, fluorescents, pesticides, and electronics. Limit 15 gallons or 125 pounds per trip. City-sponsored one-day HHW events also occur periodically. Home-generated sharps usually need an approved sharps container — confirm before visiting.
