Sharps Waste Disposal Solutions
Whether you are a small business or high volume premises, we offer safe and compliant collection and disposal services for all your sharps waste.
What is Sharps Waste?
Sharp waste is the term used for any item with sharp points or edges that can puncture or cut the skin. Sharps can cause injury and may carry the risk of infection, so it is important that they are managed carefully and correctly.
Safe & Compliant Sharps Waste Collection
While many healthcare organisations focus on how to safely and compliantly dispose of sharps waste inside their organisation, they can lose sight of what happens to waste once it leaves the facility.
From disposal to collection and treatment, a knowledgeable clinical waste management partner can play a key role in ensuring the waste management process is handled properly from end to end.
Compliant Sharps Management
We manage the sharps disposal from hospitals, pharmacies, laboratories, vets, dental practices, training centres, independent businesses and health and well being facilities.

The yellow waste stream is used for waste that has been produced from the treatment of infectious patients or those suspected of having an infection. Yellow-stream waste must be treated by alternative technology, via shredding and sterilisation at our EPA licenced facility.
The Purple Sharps Bin
The purple waste stream is used for any waste contaminated by hazardous cytotoxic and cytostatic medicines (e.g. chemotherapy drugs, birth control, chloramphenicol). Purple-stream waste must be sent for above 1,000 degree incineration at a suitably authorised facility. Purple-lidded sharps containers are for sharps that are contaminated with hazardous cytotoxic and cytostatic medicines.
