  • Breakdown of expired/unused/unwanted kits

Annually (February)

  • Anything marked with a Biohazard symbol CANNOT go into regular disposal bins   
  • Please separate sharps and biohazard materials from lab/medical kits
  • Tracking material’s expiration dates can ensure more donations rather than disposal. Donation guidelines can be seen here
