Mail Back Sharps
Studies show that between 600,000 - 800,000 needlestick injuries occur each year involving used needles. The EPA has addressed this by recommending sharps disposal by mail and advising the public of the proper disposal of syringes. Also, California has passed legislation that bans needles from residential and commercial trash pick-up and many other states are following suit.
Our Mail Back Sharps Program gives you all you need to permanently dispose of medical waste via standard USPS mail:
- A mail-safe sharps container
- A prepaid, bar-coded shipping box for tracking
- A protective plastic liner
- A tracking form
You simply drop the filled container at your nearest USPS location or hand it to your postal carrier. The postage is included in the purchase price of the product. Mail Back Sharps systems are the perfect solution to ensure safe disposal and compliance with the law, and are ideal for small sharps generators in any medical environment.
