Sharps container collection and waste disposal services using specialised equipment for the safe disposal of hazardous wastes

 

Sharps means syringes, needles, blades, glass instruments and containers, and other items that can penetrate or lacerate your skin and cause infections. Medical waste usually contains sharp objects such as syringes, needles, scalpels, surgical instruments, cutters, scissors, etc. that can inflict injury if not handled properly. Other objects that may require specialised treatment include lancets, auto-injector connection sets, and fingerstick devices. Aside from posing a risk to patients and healthcare workers, these hazardous wastes containing sharps can pierce or lacerate the skin producing injury, increasing the chances of infection. Before sharps such as needles are discarded, these should be properly disinfected. Used medical wastes and sharp objects often contain contaminated body fluids and need professional-level sharps container collection services that can properly treat these wastes with chemicals or other methods to make them harmless before safely disposing of.

Additionally, medical waste also contains other pathological waste types, such as soiled or blood-soaked bandages, culture dishes and glassware, cultures, stocks and swabs, pharmaceuticals, and other items that contain pathogens and can be infectious if not properly taken care of while discarding. Solo Resource Recovery provides specialised sharps container collection services and has bins of various sizes and expertise to handle all types of medical and other wastes containing sharp objects. With its specialised sharps container collection services, Solo Resource Recovery will ensure that your medical waste containing sharps and other pathologically harmful substances is disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner which is critical to reducing the potential for injury, the spread of infection, chemical toxicity, and pollution.

Containers for sharps collection of various sizes

Sharps should never be put in general waste bins or garbage bins. Specialised sharps container collection service should be used for this purpose. Sharps container collection experts suggest that the bin containing sharps should not be filled past the three-quarter mark. Because sharps must be segregated from general waste, Solo Resource Recovery provides specialised bins for sharps container collection for safely disposing of medical wastes such as hypodermic needles and other equipment. Sharps container services by Solo Resource Recovery include purposely-designed bags available in sizes of 1.5L to 120L in capacity, with many other capacity sizes in between. A 240L wheelie bin is usually provided by the company’s sharps container collection service along with the vessels for sharps.

Reusable bins for sharps collection

If you run a business where sharps are used, you need professional sharps container collection services. Solo Resource Recovery provides professional sharps container collection services with bins that are reusable after emptying. The reusable boxes are hard plastic or metal while the disposables are made of plasticised cardboard or plastic. The lids of these containers are made to fit tight, and it is very difficult to get a sharp object out of the container once it is put in. However, sharps container collection service is available only for limited locations. Contact Solo Resource Recovery to find out about the sharps container collection service in your area.
