Sharps disposal is one of the most critical components of medical waste management. Needlestick injuries and sharps-related incidents expose staff and waste handlers to serious bloodborne pathogens, including HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Without proper disposal protocols, even a single misplaced needle can pose a major risk.
At Waste Medic, we work with your team to ensure that used sharps are collected, secured, and transported in full compliance with local, state, and federal regulations. We provide durable, puncture-resistant containers in a range of sizes—and we manage the safe removal and disposal of filled containers through dependable pickups you can count on.
Whether you’re a small clinic or a large hospital system, our goal is to minimize risk, support compliance, and provide the responsive service that builds lasting trust.
