A Responsible Growth Story

For more than 30 years, Sharps Medical Waste Services has built a history of innovation that began with renowned dentist Dr. Burt Kunik and one of the first compliant mailback programs for dental amalgam recovery. His customer-focused approach helped create practical, scalable solutions for smaller healthcare generators that needed reliable compliance support.

That same commitment continues today through tailored solutions for sharps, regulated medical waste, pharmaceutical waste, and other regulated waste streams. By offering flexible service options, including mailback and route-based pickup, we help facilities of all sizes choose the right solution for their waste volume, operational needs, and compliance requirements. Our focus remains on making regulated waste management safer, simpler, and more accessible for every customer we serve.

A Blended Service Model That Changed the Market

Sharp Medical Waste Services established a compliant alternative for medical waste generators. Today, that original innovation remains part of a broader national model. We integrate mailback and route-based pickup programs to ensure each location receives a customizable service approach.

Some facilities generate a few quarts per month. Others require structured, recurring pickup. Many operate hybrid models across multiple sites. Our approach is to match service to generator status and volume, protecting compliance while controlling cost.

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.

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!!!
