Sharps Disposal and Containers in Cleveland
Sharps are generally defined as items that could potentially spread infectious agents- specifically Hepatitis B (HBV), Hepatitis C (HCV), and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Some of the most common medical waste defined as sharps will include anything that can prick, slice, or penetrate the skin, or can puncture waste bags and cardboard boxes.
Anything that has been used or are intended to be used for human or animal patient care for medical, research, or industrial laboratories can be defined as Sharps. Here are a few examples of different items that need to be disposed of with a Sharps Container and proper procedures:
- Suture needles

Partnering with a local medical waste disposal company in Cleveland will ensure that you’re protecting your employees and the general public from the risks associated with Sharps disposal.
Choosing the Right Sharps Disposal Container in Cleveland
Sharps containers usually fit into two main types:
Single use Sharps Containers – Which are disposed of with the medical waste inside. This includes containers for mailback programs or ongoing service.
Reusable Sharps Containers – Which are emptied and sterilized before being returned for re-use.
These containers are usually made from rigid plastic, and are marked with a line that indicates when the container is full. Sharps disposal is generally regulated at the county and local levels- the state you live in may dictate what you can (and can’t) use for proper Sharps disposal.
