Franklin sets up medical sharp disposal kiosk

Franklin has already purchased a $2,500 kiosk. Located at the Franklin Fire Department on West Main Street, it is open all week and managed by a hazardous waste company the town employs.
“We want to let people know we have a safe and viable option (for disposal),” McKearney said yesterday.

"a good little niche"
In March, the Franklin school showed interest in renting a space. Alan Mercer, manager of business development for the school, said school officials heard about the facility through Studio Ballet director Cathy Fallon.
Fallon’s studio will be merging with FSPA’s Ballet Conservatory.

FSPA will hire staff for the new facility and has already had students enroll there. And it’s the school’s first satellite location.
