Health and safety are operational imperatives at Sharps Medical Waste Services. At Sharps Medical Waste Services, safety, compliance, and continuous improvement guide everything we do. We are committed to sending everyone home safely and setting the standard in our industry.
Safe waste management begins long before treatment. It starts at the point of generation.
Employees in safety-sensitive roles, including collection, transportation, and treatment operations, are trained and qualified to perform their responsibilities safely and in full regulatory compliance. Training is role-specific, regularly updated, and designed to build competency in hazard recognition, safe work practices, emergency response, and applicable regulatory standards. We are committed to protecting our employees, customers, communities, and the environment through rigorous safety practices, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement.
Our technicians are trained in bloodborne pathogen standards, PPE protocols, spill response readiness, and more. Within our treatment facilities, personnel operate under defined process controls to ensure safe and consistent waste handling. Controlled access, secure staging areas, and engineered workflows are in place to minimize the risk of exposure, unauthorized access, or diversion.
When you work with Sharps Medical Waste Services, you’re partnering with a company deeply committed to protecting your staff and patients, ensuring full regulatory compliance, safeguarding the environment, and delivering dependable, high-quality service. In regulated waste management, the margin for error is narrow. We operate with the understanding that healthcare providers remain legally accountable for their waste until it is properly treated and documented. That reality shapes every aspect of our safety framework.
Healthcare environments are built around infection prevention protocols. Waste handling must support that mission.
Regulated medical waste that is improperly segregated or overclassified increases handling volume and exposure risk. Overfilled sharps containers increase needlestick injury potential. Pharmaceutical mismanagement increases diversion risk.
Sharps works alongside facilities to strengthen segregation accuracy, reinforce storage timelines, and support proper documentation practices. Our training and onboarding programs emphasize practical compliance — not theoretical policy.
Safe waste management reduces exposure risk for clinicians, environmental services teams, and support staff.
Healthcare waste management carries environmental consequences. Landfill reliance, improper disposal, and pharmaceutical contamination can impact water systems and communities.
Unused medications and pharmaceutical waste represent a dual risk: environmental contamination and diversion.
Sharps support DEA-compliant destruction processes and secure chain-of-custody documentation. MedSafe® kiosks and TakeAway® mailback systems provide compliant disposal pathways for consumers and facilities, reducing the risk of medications entering waterways or the illicit market.
In a healthcare landscape facing substance misuse challenges, secure pharmaceutical destruction is a public health obligation.
Protecting human health and safeguarding the natural environment are core values upon which Sharps was founded.
Every container collected, every manifest recorded, every treatment cycle validated, and every pharmaceutical safely destroyed contributes to that mission.
Health and safety are not departments. They are embedded in how we operate.
Medical waste regulations vary by state, change frequently, and carry real penalties when mismanaged. Our in-house Regulatory Compliance Team takes that burden off your plate, evaluating your waste streams, identifying what applies to your facility, and making sure your pickup program keeps you compliant with EPA, OSHA, DEA, DOT, and your state regulator from day one.
With over 30 years of experience, we do not hand you a rulebook and walk away. We build compliance with the service itself.
Our compliance team provides:
Sharps’ Regulatory Hub is a password-protected online portal designed exclusively for Sharps customers. The Hub provides 24/7 access to state registration requirements and other regulatory resources for the compliant management of medical and pharmaceutical wastes.

Professional and pleasant!
Very professional and timely when picking up our medical waste from the funeral home. Calls to confirm we have waste for pickup so they do not make an unnecessary trip out.
Jeremy was fantastic! He helped me get my account set up quickly and efficiently and took the time to answer all of my questions. I really appreciated how smooth and easy he made the process.
Collin and his team have gone above and beyond to take care of us. We appreciate you all very much. We highly recommend Sharps!
Inside Sales Specialist Jeremy Fleming is absolutely amazing!!!!!!!! If it wasn’t for him, I don’t know if I would have services registered.

excellent service!!!
Great and problem was solved immediately
Sharps Medical Waste Services as been a great partner of ours and has been providing great customer service to our nationwide customers.
Been having issues with Dupixent sending me wrong sharps containers to disposal of pens. Ended up working with Andrea Juarez who was FANTASTIC !!!!!!! She could not have been more helpful in taking ownership of my issue regarding attempting to get OPTUM pharmacy to send me the correct containers. She explained she will speak to the folks over at Client Services or something at OPTUM to see about shipping me the correct container – ?SKU#: 11000 immediately for NY, and ensure that when I change deliveries to my vacation home in Florida, that the correct Sharps container will be shipped there, also. She told me to expect a call from her after this weekend with the results of her conversation with the fulfillment folks. I fully anticipate to hear back from her after the weekend. Again, I cannot emphasize strongly what an asset she is to your organization!!!
