Help keep our operators and the community safe by disposing of home medical sharps properly.

You can place them in a heavy-duty plastic container and then dispose of it at a collection kiosk. A white collection kiosk is available to MVSD residents at our Administration building near the front doors. Access to the kiosk is available Monday-Thursday, 7am-4:30pm and Friday, 7am-3:30pm. There is no weekend or holiday access.

ATTENTION: THE KIOSK AT MVSD IS CLOSING EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 2026.
