Regulated medical waste, as defined as both red bag waste and sharps waste, can be generated in both healthcare facilities and commercial businesses. This type of waste must be properly managed not only to avoid hefty regulatory fines but also to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Sharps and soft wastes (red bag waste), those saturated with blood or certain other body fluids, must be compliantly handled, contained, stored, shipped, and treated following all local, state, and federal regulations.

Sharps Compliance provides the best in USPS-authorized medical waste mailback services for small to mid-size generators. When facilities generate more significant quantities of biohazard waste that is not efficiently manageable with mailback, we offer a pickup service. This blended service model permits Sharps Compliance to match the right service at each location, resulting in cost-effective and efficient management programs.

Medical Waste Pickup Service

Sharps Compliance operates medical waste pickup services nationwide. Biohazardous pickup services are vital for healthcare facilities that generate larger volumes of medical waste not suitable for mailback. When sharps mailback service is not the best fit for a location, typically due to volume, we provide a route-based biohazardous waste disposal pickup service.

Our unique ability to blend services of both sharps mailback and biohazardous waste pickup offers our customers the best in accessibility and pricing. We deliver the same regulatory compliance assurances to both pickup and mailback locations, ensuring DOT standards, proper treatment, and online documentation of treated waste is available.

Biohazardous Containment & Storage

Individual state regulations as well as volumes, usage, types of wastes, locations, and mounting requirements dictate container selection. Our sharps mailback systems include FDA-cleared, puncture-resistant, leak-proof sharps containers. We also offer systems designed to hold filled sharps containers and bags of soft waste.

Our systems include the plastic container, prepaid postage, pre-addressed shipping box, bag liners, and tracking forms meet or exceed all applicable regulations. In addition to our mailback systems, we provide standard sharps containers for use with pickup or within our larger mailback systems.

Right Classification

Healthcare facilities need to train employees on Right Classification — proper segregation of waste types and minimization to reduce over-classifying of waste. Over-classifying waste includes placing items into the medical waste that can go into the trash. Sharps prides itself on helping you to Right Classify your waste to reduce unnecessary costs.

Treatment

Sharps Compliance treats all waste responsibly and following all applicable regulations. In most cases, we autoclave the waste and then repurpose it into a new resource, thereby avoiding placing treated containers into a landfill.
