based on age, weight and height. Every year, thousands of children are killed or injured in crashes,
mainly because 3 out of 4 are not properly secured,
or even worse, not restrained at all. Learn more... |

-- Pima County Health Department Announcement --
Needles and syringes are hazardous medical waste and should be disposed of properly. To reduce the risk of needle stick injuries, the City of Tucson and Pima County are asking residents to dispose of needles and syringes in the following manner:
1. Place all needles and syringes in a secured puncture proof plastic container with a screw-on lid (for example: a rigid detergent, bleach or fabric softener bottle).
2. Clearly label the container “NON-RECYCLABLE” and dispose of it in your trash container.
3. Once filled to no more than 2 inches from the top, tightly secure the lid and reinforce with duct tape.
4. Place the container into your trash; do not place this container in with your other recyclables.
