Flathead County Sharps Program
The Flathead County Sharps Program is a partnership between the Flathead City-County Health Department and the Flathead County Solid Waste Department. The program exists to promote safe and proper disposal of needles in Flathead County.
How the program works:
Individuals can pick up sharps containers free of charge at one of the participating pharmacies. Once filled, individuals can either return their sharps containers to the pharmacy OR dispose of them at the designated disposal site at the Flathead County Landfill. Once a month, a health department staff member picks up the used sharps containers from the participating pharmacies and drops off a new supply of containers. Then, the FCCHD staff member properly disposes of the used sharps containers. Please note that this program is for individual use only.
