Last month's Sharps Community Forum was cancelled due to inclement weather. It has been rescheduled for Wednesday, May 2nd from 6:00 – 7:30 at Capstone Community Action, 20 Gable Place in Barre. Please join and spread the word!

Sharps are medical devices with sharp points or edges that can puncture a person's skin, such as needles, syringes, and lancets. In the summer of 2017, The Greater Barre Community Sharps Disposal Alliance conducted a survey to learn more about the problem of improperly disposed sharps in Barre. Sharps have been found in parks, playgrounds, and public restrooms. In response to this public health issue, the Alliance is installing large drop-boxes and wall units in locations around the City. Please join the forum to learn more about this initiative and share your thoughts. Please direct questions to Joe Aldsworth 802-476-0254, joseph.aldsworth@vermont.gov.
