Sharps Disposal Service

Sharps (e.g. needles, lancets, and syringes) are classified as clinical waste and so must be disposed of in line with the government’s hazardous waste regulations.

Any waste item that has the potential to puncture or pierce the skin is classified as a sharp. This includes:

• Syringes
• Hypodermic needles
• Knives
• Razors
• Scissors
• Scalpels
• Broken glass

These items must be handled with the utmost care and you must arrange safe removal of sharps removal service.

Used sharps present a serious health risk as they can carry highly infectious pathogens like Hepatitis B and HIV. If exposed, these viruses can cause severe and fatal health complications.

Sharps are dangerous as they can easily break the skin and cause life-threatening infections. You must protect yourself, your employees, and your visitors against this serious health risk.

This is why sharps must be collected with the utmost care by a professional sharps disposal company. As one of the leading sharps disposal companies, we have the knowledge and tools to ensure that sharps are removed from your premises safely and in line with government guidelines.

If your business handles sharps, then these cannot be thrown in your standard waste collections and should be managed by a professional sharps removal service. Every company that handles sharps needs to know how to dispose of sharps correctly and safely.

Sharps bins or sharps containers should be used to store sharps safely until they are collected. Sharps bins feature a puncture-proof design and will keep sharps safe and secure while they are being stored at your facility.
