If you work in sectors such as the beauty industry, tattooing or piercing, or healthcare services, you will undoubtedly have dealt with disposing of needles and syringes. You may also know that handling sharps waste can be dangerous, and you may not know what to do with the disposed needles when they require further disposal.
This is where Envirotec Hygiene Services come in: we can help dispose of your sharps bins (which can’t be collected or stored with domestic waste), and ensure your business keeps up with relevant guidelines and regulations for sharps disposal.
Safe Disposal of Sharps
Discarded needles and sharps such as syringes, needle clippers, and other finger pricking devices must be securely stored and disposed of properly.
Discarded needles can cause harm and spread infections, making safe disposal crucial. Used needles can carry fluids and infections, posing a risk of transmission to others.
Sharps bins are designed to safely contain and dispose of used needles and medical supplies that may carry infections. Proper disposal of sharps is essential to prevent the spread of infections and protect others.
Using Sharps Bins for Safe Disposal
Envirotec offers sharp waste management, including sharps and collection services, as well as sharps bins and disposal units that are specially designed to safely house these items until they are ready to be collected.
Sharps bins are designed for safe storage and disposal of used needles and medical supplies. Having a sharps bin ensures proper disposal of sharps and reduces the risk of injury and infection. Sharps bins are essential for securely storing used needles, syringes, and other sharp objects.
Always store sharps in a sharps bin to prevent accidents and injuries!
Disposing of Full Sharps Bins
Disposal arrangements for sharps bins depend on local council guidelines, and may be infrequent or require extra fees. It is essential to follow guidelines for disposing of full sharps bins to ensure safe and responsible waste management. Full bins should be securely stored and awaiting collection by the local council or designated waste management service. Do not put full sharps bins in other containers, general rubbish bins, or recycling bins.
