Whether you need to properly dispose of biomedical waste or you've seen a unsanitary condition that causes you to be concerned, the Environmental Health Division at DOH-Pinellas works hard to ensure that our community is safe and free of risks to your health.

  • Needle/Sharps Disposal - needles and sharps can't just get thrown out with the trash, we ensure the proper disposal and keep you safe.
  • Indoor Air Quality - just as important as clean water, is clean air. We monitor the air to protect your health.
  • Sanitary Nuisance - when there is something that by its very presence can cause a health risk to visitors or residents, we need to know.
