Suffolk County participates in NY State syringe access programs and household sharps collection. Pharmacies sell syringes without prescription under NY ESAP, and SCDHS coordinates safe disposal events and kiosks.
New York operates the Expanded Syringe Access Program (ESAP) under Public Health Law, allowing pharmacies and authorized providers to sell or furnish hypodermic syringes to adults without a prescription. Suffolk pharmacies participate widely. For disposal, SCDHS provides guidance on FDA-approved sharps containers and partners with hospitals and pharmacies on take-back. Household sharps must not be placed loose in trash or recycling under NY State waste rules. Suffolk hosts periodic Stop-DWI and SCDHS household hazardous waste events that accept sharps. Some towns also operate kiosks at solid waste transfer stations.
Disposing of loose syringes in trash, recycling, or public spaces violates state solid waste rules and may expose residents to local littering and public health citations.
