How to Dispose of Used Sharps?

It’s crucial to dispose of used sharps carefully to ensure a safe and secure environment. All medical facilities are required to dispose of their medical waste through a licensed medical waste treatment facility. However, before we come and collect your sharps waste, here are some things to keep in mind:

Do not throw needles, syringes, and other sharps in the trash can or recycling bin (they are not recyclable).
Do not flush sharps down the toilet.
After use, immediately put used sharps in a sharps disposal container. This reduces the risk of injuries and infections.
Keep your workers informed about where sharps disposal containers are located and how to use them properly.
Do not try to cut, bend, or break the needles and syringes that have already been used. This can result in injuries and infections. If absolutely needed, always use a needle clipper.
Always label sharps disposal containers with a universal biohazard symbol.
Always keep the sharps disposal container sealed.
Do not overfill your sharps containers.
