Orange County Sharps Disposal Services
Have you ever thought what it would be like in the county that is home to Disneyland if there were no sharps disposal services in Orange County? In the 21st century, it’s just common sense to know that the incorrect handling of discarded needles and other sharps are dangerous to waste workers and the general public. Most cities have safe syringe disposal rules for home-generated sharps, but businesses are responsible for keeping their own employees and patrons unharmed.
Examples of sharps include needles, syringes, lancets used to test blood, auto injectors, infusion sets, and connection sets used to transfer fluids in and out of the body.
