Sharps Bin Collection Service

In many places, it’s a legal necessity to have appropriate sharps bins on-site. These bins offer everyone – from medical professionals to students – a safe spot to dispose of needles, syringes and other clinical or medical waste.

Improper disposal of sharps can result in injuries, potential contamination, and environmental concerns. None of us want to face those risks, do we? By keeping sharps waste separate and secure, we ensure it’s treated properly.

Our team is on standby to help you determine the best size, number, and collection frequency for your sharps disposal bins.

What happens to my collected sharps waste?

Collected sharps waste goes through a meticulous process to make sure it’s disposed of ethically and safely.

  1. Secure containment: All sharps waste has to be handed over in puncture-resistant containers, designed specifically for this type of waste.
  2. Transport: Our licensed carriers take these containers to a dedicated disposal facility.
  3. Incineration: Sharps waste is typically incinerated at high temperatures. This process not only destroys any lingering bacteria, but also reduces the volume of the waste.
  4. Ash Disposal: The ash is then disposed of in designated landfills. In some cases it can even be used for certain construction materials.
  5. Energy Recovery: Modern incineration facilities often use the heat generated during the process to produce energy, turning potential hazards into a beneficial resource.

At NRC, we always aim to put sustainability first, with 99% of the waste we collect avoiding landfill. Of this, 43% is recycled, while 56% is converted into green energy. If you’re looking for a sustainable solution for your sharps waste management, get in touch with our teams today.
