Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

Lee County is planning a new Residential Used Sharp Depository Program. This program will involve the delivery, collection, transportation, and disposal of residential medical sharps containers across the county. The service aims to provide a safe and convenient way for residents to dispose of medical sharps. This initiative is a collaboration between the Florida Department of Health and local fire districts. The contract is planned for an initial three-year term with potential for two one-year renewals. The county has funded this service in its Solid Waste FY26 budget. This project will require services related to the transportation and disposal of medical waste, including logistics and potentially site management for exchange locations. Businesses specializing in hazardous waste management, transportation, and disposal services could find opportunities here. Early engagement before final logistics and operational plans are set may offer advantages.
