Portland Sharps Disposal Services
Have you ever thought about what your area of the Pacific Northwest would be like if there were no sharps disposal services in Portland? Metro Portland, Multnomah County and the state of Oregon all know how the improper handling of discarded needles and other sharps are dangerous to waste workers, the environment, and the public. Oregon has progressive programs for sharps collection points statewide, and it’s illegal to dispose of sharps in household trash.
Safety for Businesses and Healthcare Facilities
Businesses and healthcare facilities need in-house safety policies and sharps collection procedures that will safeguard your employees and patrons. Needles that are improperly discarded can expose waste workers (and your staff) to needle stick injuries and possible infection. Janitors, nurses, housekeepers, and other staff can be injured if loose sharps poke through plastic trash bags. Used needles carelessly discarded can transmit serious diseases.
