According to the CDC, each year 600,000 - 800,000 people are injured by Sharps. Sharps placed into regular trash collection are often released in compacting, creating the potential to do harm. Further, some individuals may divert used sharps from waste for illicit purposes.
As a result, the EPA has recommended using systems like the MedWaste Tracker® for safe disposal. |
