The proper management and disposal of sharps is an important activity for all healthcare facilities.  The CDC estimates that over 800,000 accidental needle sticks occur each year among healthcare workers.  Stericycle is committed to helping keep people safe from accidental needle sticks.  To do this, we provide services and containers for hospitals, MDs, DDS, Vets and even home users of sharps.

 

FOR HOSPITALS 

The Stericycle Sharps Management Service combines safety, convenience and environmental responsibility. It not only reduces the risk of needle sticks to your staff, but also prevents thousands of tons of plastic and corrugated material from accumulating in landfills. In addition, it’s available for a fixed monthly rate, making it more cost efficient than most disposable container systems. Click here to learn more about our Sharps Management Service.
