Wisconsin law requires proper disposal of sharps (needles, syringes, and lancets) used at home for people or pets. Sharps must be stored in appropriate containers and taken to a collection site for disposal. The Franklin Health Department is a collection site for sharps generated by Franklin residents only. Containers for collecting sharps are also available at the Franklin Health Department. Call 425-9101 for details on safe disposal and appropriate containers. (Note: Knives, razors, and other sharp objects can be placed in your regular trash after being wrapped to prevent injury.) Collection times are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
