Sharps removal service
You should report any sightings of sharps immediately. They have the potential to cause significant harm. Professionals with the right experience can quickly dispose of them in the correct manner. Needles, syringes and other sharps should not be put into the regular waste or public litter bins. There is a high risk of infection with these items and they need to be safely taken away from any public environment.
Safe disposal of sharps and needles
Dedicated sharps bins or containers are the best solution for disposing of sharps. They are self-contained and provide a sealed storage box to keep the sharps away from other waste.
Our employees are highly experienced with work in dangerous environments where sharps are commonplace. They work safely to ensure they find any sharps and can quickly remove them from the space. All our employees have appropriate PPE and help to ensure the environment is free of hazardous materials.
As part of our cleaning service, we make sure to disinfect and thoroughly check any area we find contaminated sharps. In addition, there are strict and structured guidelines for handling dangerous biohazardous waste. We make sure to abide by these regulations closely.
