Sharps Disposal Services in Boulder

Sharps are just how they sound. They are sharp. They can cut or slice your skin. They can prick or stick you, drawing blood. A few examples are:

  • Syringes with and without needles
  • Scalpel blades
  •  Lancets/ “fingerstick” devices
  •  Razor blades
  • Suture needles
  • Acupuncture needles
  • Blood vials
  • Culture dishes and slides
  • Trauma scene waste that can cut, slice or pierce 
  • Broken glass from the laboratory, including slides, slide  covers, and more

Medical sharps are dangerous. They may be contaminated with infectious agents such as Hepatitis C (HCV), Hepatitis B (HBV), or Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). If they have been infected and break your skin, they can infect you. Anyone who handles contaminated medical sharps takes this risk. Unnecessary handling of sharps could be fatal.

Choosing the Right Sharps Disposal Container In Boulder

Sharps are never meant to be flushed down a toilet, nor are they ever disposed of in regular trash cans/trash bags. Instead, they are intended to be disposed of in approved Sharps disposal containers. The containers are made out of rigid plastic and fit in one of two categories:

Reusable Sharps Containers are designed to be emptied, sanitized, and used again for sharps collection.

Single-Use Sharps Containers are thrown away with the sharps. You can use these containers for both mail back and ongoing services.

By placing your Sharps in safe, reinforced sharps disposal units, you keep yourself and those around you safe from the potential dangers posed by these items. This will protect your employees and the general public from the risks associated with Sharps disposal.
