Help to keep Enviro-Depot™ workers safe by disposing of any sharps (needles, syringes, lancets, autoinjectors, or infusion sets). At the Enviro-Depots™, real people work behind the scenes to collect and sort your refundables. Depot workers can be exposed to severe health risks when sharps are improperly disposed. You can help keep them safe at work by returning used sharps to local pharmacies for safe disposal for free. Please do not bring sharps to your local Enviro-Depot™.

Greenwood Recycling is a family-owned business and we like to support locally. On Saturday, October 12, 2024, one of our little recycler’s Laila lost her best companion in a horrible incident. To express our gratitude, support, and condolences, Greenwood Recycling donated to the Colimbo family on behalf of Laila.
