  • Hybrid options: A combination of both mailback and pickup, depending on your facility's needs.
  • MedSafe: MedSafe medication collection kiosks provide safe disposal for unused or expired prescription drugs, OTC medications, and Schedules II-V controlled substances.

We can provide the transport and treatment of all your medical and pharmaceutical wastes.

New York State Medical Waste Regulations

With approximately 36,000 medical waste generators creating 250,000 pounds of RMW each year, New York State regulators take safety and compliance seriously. New York RMW generators must understand and comply with several medical and pharmaceutical waste regulations issued by both federal and state agencies, including:

Rules and regulations change frequently. While large quantity generators often have dedicated compliance staff, small and medium-sized generators are faced with the difficulty of navigating state and federal medical waste disposal requirements on their own. Sharps Medical Waste Services can help.
