In this episode of Trash Talk, we discuss the dangers Fairfax County trash collection staff face when residents fail to dispose of needles/syringes and other sharps properly. We also met up with Mariama from the Fairfax County Health Department and Yuri from the Community Services Board to learn how to properly dispose of diapers and wipes, as well as expired or unused medications.
