A Stericycle Service Specialist proactively exchanges the reusable sharps containers throughout the hospital. This relieves the burden of exchanging and disposing of sharps containers for Nursing and Environmental Services and reduces the risk of needlestick injuries.
Reusable Sharps Containers for Healthcare
Our Sharps Management Service utilizes reusable containers and streamlines the collection and disposal of sharps waste, increasing efficiencies, protecting your staff and reducing your carbon footprint.
Improve Safety and Patient Care
Proactive sharps container exchange ensures containers don’t exceed the fill-line, avoiding sharps injuries during disposal. By eliminating your organization’s responsibility of ordering, storing, transporting and monitoring inventory, staff have more time to focus on what matters most – patient care.

Containers come in a variety of sizes to meet your needs.
