Livingston Township Issues Reminder On Disposable Gloves: Proper Removal And Disposal

Press release from the Livingston Township:

April 8, 2020

With the coronavirus still spreading, it is important to remain vigilant about avoiding contamination.

Many individuals are wearing masks and disposable gloves, as suggested by the CDC.

While these are helpful practices, they will only work when done properly -- and that includes proper removal and disposal in order to slow the spread of the disease.

NJ.com has shared a video demonstrating the proper way in which to remove disposable gloves to avoid possible further contamination.

Once gloves are removed, place them in a trash bin and wash your hands as soon as possible.

Remember: These gloves and masks are NOT recyclable. Do not place them in with recycling; doing so can actually spread the disease.
