Sharps waste can include a variety of instruments. Things like used syringes, operating knives and blades, glass, and generally any tool used to puncture is controlled under similar regulations to traditional medical waste. Sharps waste disposal is particularly at risk of containing and transmitting blood-borne pathogens.
Sharps waste is classified as a biohazard, and it must be dealt with accordingly. When uncontrolled, the disposal of sharps waste puts medical professionals and the public at risk of contracting serious diseases such as Hepatitis and HIV.
The goal of sharps waste disposal is to minimize handling from the moment the waste is created. Strict government protocol encourages as little handling as possible by medical staff as well as self-locking, sealable containers made of plastic or other impermeable material. Once disposed of, sharps waste is handled carefully at a facility designed to efficiently and completely destroy any blood-borne pathogens as well as recycle materials when possible.

Improper handling of medical waste can spread dangerous diseases. Proper training is the first step in efficient medical waste handling, but continued compliance and training programs are a must. WasteX offers a complimentary training program which meets the OSHA standard to ensure your team is up-to-date on industry best-practices. For example, did you know that identifying what is and is not medical waste is one of the most difficult elements of disposal? Sharps and soft waste may qualify for medical waste disposal while fabrics soaked in certain body fluids might not. Regulations vary by state so it’s critical you’ve got a partner who knows and follows the rules concerning everything from disposal to identification to frequency.
Does your facility generate biohazardous, biomedical, or infectious waste? Then you know the responsibilities and regulations that come with disposing of this kind of waste properly. WasteX works with facilities requiring safe handling of medical waste including doctor’s offices, laboratories, and clinics. Controlled disposal of this kind of material is as important to the health of your employees as it is to the general public!
Your office should have different systems in place for disposing of different kinds of waste. Medical waste, for example, may need to be picked up at a more regular frequency than pharmaceutical waste, which requires its own containment system. Mishandling of pharmaceutical waste can result in very hefty fines. Not only that, it can create a dangerous environment for your employees and your own community, putting everyone at risk. If you need help creating a management plan for your specific business, WasteX can help. WasteX will provide you service when and where you need it. Our waste receptacles are easy to maintain and emptied as frequently as you require.
Sharps waste is considered a hazardous solid, if exposed to it, can cause infection. Examples of sharps waste include needles, syringes, glass or lancets.
