Frequently Asked Questions

Why is proper sharps disposal important?

Proper sharps disposal is crucial for preventing injuries, protecting the environment, and ensuring compliance with regulations. Improper disposal can lead to accidents and contamination.

Are your sharps disposal providers compliant with regulations?

Yes, we work with providers who adhere to federal, state, and local regulations for sharps disposal. They are fully licensed and insured to ensure safe and compliant disposal.

Can you help with sharps disposal in rural areas or small towns?

We have a wide network of service providers, including those in rural areas. We can find a solution that works for you, no matter where you're located.

Do I have to pay for drop off?

There are locations that are free to drop off sharps. However, there are some drop-off locations that charge. You can find the pricing listing in the location details of the listing.

How often can I schedule sharps waste pickups?

Medical Waste Pros can connect you with professionals offering flexible scheduling options, including daily, monthly, annually, or one-time purge services based on your needs.

What sharps should be placed into a container?

Any type of sharps needs to be placed into a secure, approved container. Here are some examples:

Once used, any of the Sharps listed below should be placed in a Sharps disposal container.
- Hypodermic needles
- Pasteur pipettes
- Syringes
- Scalpel blades
- Lancets/“fingerstick” devices
- Auto-Injectors
- Infusion sets
- Capillary tubes
- Razor blades
- Connection needles/sets
- Broken glass from the laboratory including slides and slide covers
- and more

Official disposal containers are leak-proof and made of a puncture-resistant plastic and puncture-resistant lid that can be handled without concern or risk of exposure. If an FDA-cleared container is not available a heavy-duty plastic household container, such as a laundry detergent container can be used as an alternative. Never place any loose Sharps in any trashcan or recycling bin- and never flush Sharps down the toilet. If disposed of improperly, others are put in harm’s way. Medical Waste Pros helps businesses of all sizes as well as homes find safe sharps disposal services that are right for their exact needs.

Can sharps be thrown in the regular trash or recycling bin?

No, sharps should never be disposed of in regular trash or recycling bins. This poses a risk of injury to sanitation workers and the public.

What regulations govern sharps disposal?

In the U.S., regulations are governed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and state and local health departments.

What should I do if I get pricked by a used sharp?

Immediately wash the area with soap and water, seek medical attention, and report the incident as soon as possible to determine if further action is needed.

Are there mail-back programs for sharps disposal?

Yes, many sharps disposal providers offer convenient mail-back programs where you can safely package and send your used sharps for proper disposal. Medical Waste Pros can help connect you with a provider that offers this service.

Can sharps be disposed of in biohazard bags?

No, sharps should never be placed in biohazard bags. They require puncture-resistant, labeled sharps containers to prevent injuries and ensure safe handling.

How often should sharps containers be replaced?

Sharps containers should be replaced when they are about 75% full or as recommended by the container manufacturer and regulatory guidelines. Overfilling can pose a risk of needle sticks and injuries.
