The environmental protection section collects and transports certain biowastes and sharps containers for treatment by a third party vendor. 

To request a biobarrel or sharps waste pick up, submit a biological waste pick up request form.  If you would like to establish biobarrel service or need to request additional barrels for an existing service, please use the barrel request form.
