Safe Syringe Disposal Program
As a free community service, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset
offers a Safe Syringe Disposal Program. Members of the community may bring
used medical syringes to the hospital for safe disposal to help prevent
injury and the spread of disease.
To ensure the safety of our patients, visitors and staff, we recently made
changes to our syringe drop off process effective March 1, 2018.
Containers of used syringes may be brought to the hospital Monday through
Friday between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Please come to the main
hospital lobby and let the receptionist know that you have syringes for
disposal. A member of the hospital’s Security Department or a receptionist
will escort you to the disposable box located in the lobby.
Please remember that syringes should be in an FDA-approved sharps container
or a rigid heavy-duty plastic container such as an empty laundry or bleach
bottle with a screw on cap. Do not transport syringes in containers with
lids that can easily come off, such as a coffee can, or glass containers
which can break.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Since the surgery, I'm walking without pain. I'm walking without a limp and I was even able to dance with my son at his wedding.
