Hypodermic needles are a part of modern life, whether for managing conditions like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or Crohn’s disease, or due to the ongoing issue of illicit drug use. Unfortunately, this often leads to improper disposal of needles in makeshift containers tossed with regular trash. But there’s a better option: needle disposal kiosks!
Tok and Nenana now have their own needle disposal kiosk! This free service is available for safe and sanitary disposal of medical waste. These kiosks are built to endure all weather conditions, ensuring they’re ready whenever you need it.
You can find the kiosks at the following locations:
Public Health Nursing

Mary C. Demientieff Health Clinic

Nenana, AK 99760
