Barre Safe Sharps Disposal Community Toolkit
This toolkit was developed by the Barre District Office of Local Health and the Greater Barre Safe Sharps Alliance. It is a comprehensive safe needle disposal toolkit that provides a strategic framework for assessing the problem of unsafe needle disposal in a local community. The toolkit also outlines options for addressing the issue, and includes tips for building partnerships, developing and executing a plan and evaluating the project, among other resources. For additional information about safe sharps disposal from Health Department, visit Safe Needle Disposal in Vermont.
