Sharps Disposal Containers on Campus

Used needles (also referred to as “sharps”) have the potential to cause injury or illness through unintended contact if not disposed of safely.

In order to reduce the likelihood of unintended contact with needles, Mohawk College has implemented a safe disposal of sharps on our campuses.

Sharps disposal containers have been installed in washrooms locations throughout Mohawk College campuses for safe disposal practices. These containers are designed to receive the sharps and prevent access to the disposed product.
