The CDC estimates that over 800,000 accidental needle sticks occur each year among healthcare workers. Stericycle is committed to helping keep people safe from accidental needle sticks through our sharps disposal services. We provide sharps disposal services and containers for hospitals, MDs, DDS, communities and home sharps users.

For Hospitals
The Stericycle Sharps Management Service combines safety, convenience and environmental responsibility. It not only reduces the risk of needle sticks to your staff, but also prevents thousands of tons of plastic and corrugated material from accumulating in landfills. In addition, our disposal services are available for a fixed monthly rate, making it more cost efficient than most disposable container systems.
