Wow.
Are they taking documents to be shredde?
Don’t think they’ll do shredding, but how about sharps? I think some hazardous waste collections have taken sharps in the past. I’m at a loss, now that the Sheriff’s Dept. has removed their collection box. I have a cat that needs insulin injections twice a day, so I have lots of sharps that need safe disposal. They’re already shielded with plastic needle covers and are packed in containers with lids, so they’re very safe.
