Sharps waste refers to materials and objects with sharp edges or points that pose a risk of injury and potential contamination. To mitigate these risks, sharps waste must be stored in specialized containers and disposed of according to stringent clinical waste guidelines. Our licensed collectors ensure full compliance with these guidelines, safeguarding the well-being of your staff, clients, and the public.

Sharps waste encompasses a wide range of items, from pharmaceutical tools like hypodermic needles, scalpels, insulin pens, and lancets, to other sharp objects such as razor blades, pins, staples, scissors, broken glass or plastic, and even bone or teeth fragments.

We provide sharps waste collection services for any business in need, with our most frequent clients including:

• Hospitals, doctor surgeries, and other medical facilities.
•  Chemists and pharmacies.
• Care homes.
• Dental practices.
• Laboratories.
• Veterinary clinics.

Proper management of sharps waste involves secure storage in sealable or lockable sharps bins, designed to prevent damage or leakage and keep potentially hazardous waste safely contained. Our sharps waste specialists are equipped to handle various types of sharps bins, including those for non-pharmaceutical sharps (orange lid), sharps contaminated with medicinal products (yellow lid), and sharps contaminated with hazardous chemicals (purple lid).

Whatever type of sharps waste your business generates, our collection and disposal services are here to help. We’ll collaborate with you to create a collection schedule that fits your needs, providing peace of mind that your sharps waste is managed responsibly. We also offer free sharps bins and flexible weekly or fortnightly collection options to best serve your business requirements.
