Professional Sharps and Medical Waste Mailback Systems
If you generate a small amount of biohazardous waste, such as sharps or “soft” medical waste, Stericycle offers mailback program systems for your facility.
Consider Sharps Disposal by Mail
If you generate only a small volume of used sharps, our professional sharps mailback program may be the right solution for your needs. Our professional sharps mailback solutions are perfect for handling needles, lancets, syringes, and other sharps.
For professionals in medical and dental offices, healthcare clinics, laboratories, businesses, and others who generate larger volumes of used needles, lancets, syringes, or other sharps, we offer a complete line of sharps disposal containers and we offer pick-up service for collection, treatment, and disposal of sharps.
