Frequently Asked Questions

• What types of waste go in a sharps container?

  Sharps containers are for needles, syringes, lancets, scalpel blades, and any other sharp items that could cause a puncture wound or laceration. They should not be used for general clinical waste such as swabs, gloves, or bandages — these require separate clinical waste disposal.

• How often will containers be collected?

  Collection frequency is tailored to your facility's waste volume. Options range from weekly to monthly collections. Containers should never be filled above the fill line — if yours are filling faster than expected, we can increase your collection frequency.

• Can you also handle other clinical waste?

  Yes. In addition to sharps disposal, we offer a full medical and clinical waste disposal service covering infectious waste, pharmaceutical waste, and pathology waste. Contact us to discuss a combined solution for your facility.

• Can I change my service frequency later?

  Yes. If your business grows or your needs change, we can adjust your service schedule at any time. Simply contact our team, and we’ll work with you to update your service plan.

• Are you compliant with Australian regulations?

  Yes. All waste is disposed of in full compliance with Australian health and environmental regulations, and we provide digital service reports for your records.
