sharps disposal

With sharps disposal, safety always comes first. That's why we provide the highest quality of UN-approved sharps containers to accompany our sharps collection and disposal service.

When dealing with the hazards of used injecting equipment, it is essential that safety is not compromised in any way and that’s why we only supply the best quality sharps containers which meet with BSI and UN-type approval. Select provide a safe and compliant sharps disposal solution that takes away the risk from your staff. Our fully trained operatives deliver, locate, collect and exchange sharps containers from your premise. This reduces the risk of a needlestick injury to your staff, as they do not have to handle the containers. Each collection is completed with a document that records the transfer of your sharps over to a licensed waste carrier. The used sharps are securely transported in our fuel efficient specialist vehicles to our transfer facility. Each container is weighed, scanned and tracked, ready for safe, compliant and sustainable disposal.
