Sharps Disposal and Containers in Sacramento, California

Medical sharps are used for human or animal patient care for the purposes of medical research, industrial laboratories, and general medical settings. By definition, sharps are any item that can slice, prick, puncture, or penetrate the skin, cardboard boxes, or waste bags.

With used medical sharps, the potential to spread infectious and dangerous agents such as a Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), among others are a risk that shouldn’t be taken lightly.
