Household sharps in Henderson cannot go in curbside trash or recycling under Republic Services rules, and residents must use SNHD-supported drop-off sites or mail-back programs to dispose of needles safely.
Republic Services, the franchise hauler for Henderson, prohibits loose needles, lancets, and syringes in carts due to worker injury risk. Sharps must be sealed in an FDA-cleared sharps container or a rigid puncture-resistant household container labeled biohazard. SNHD coordinates community drop-off events and pharmacy-based take-back programs. Mail-back kits are sold over the counter at most pharmacies. Public sharps found in parks or rights-of-way should be reported to Henderson via Click2Fix and not handled by residents directly.
Placing loose sharps in carts is a hauler safety violation and can be a misdemeanor under SNHD biohazard handling rules if it endangers workers.
