Staten Island Sharps Disposal Services
It would be unthinkable if there were no sharps disposal services on Staten Island and the surrounding boroughs. The city of Staten Island, Richmond County and the state of New York are committed to safeguarding waste workers and the public from dangerous discarded needles and other sharps.
The New York State Department of Health (DOH), Wadsworth Center and the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) all work in tandem. Their job is to ensure that there are procedures in place for the safe disposal of sharps and medical waste across the state. Health clinics, pharmacies, community-based organizations, mobile van programs, housing projects, police stations, waste transfer stations and other venues have become settings for safe sharps collection. They offer syringe collection drop boxes (or “kiosks”) to facilitate the safe collection of used sharps from households.
Smart Businesses and Healthcare Facilities Put Safety First
Needle stick injuries and possible infection are unnecessary risks that your employees shouldn’t have to worry about. Businesses like yours need in-house safety policies and sharps collection procedures that protect your employees and patrons. Needles that are improperly discarded can expose waste workers and your staff to loose sharps poking through plastic trash bags.
