HPSA’s new 1.8L sharps containers are now available in Ontario, Manitoba and Prince Edward Island.

This new sharps container has a sustainable design made from recycled plastic and comes with an updated instruction label. HPSA understands the importance of convenience when it comes to storing used sharps, which is why the new 1.8L containers are a great alternative to the previous 4.25L container.

Any member of the public, self-treating at home, can receive and return our sharps containers from participating pharmacies. So, if you’re in need of a sharps container, visit your local participating pharmacy. Find the closest collection location on our Collection Location Map.
