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 Stericycle SafeDrop™ Solutions for Sharps for safe disposal.

States such as California and Wisconsin have made it illegal to place consumer sharps in the public waste. Purchasing and using a Sharps System ensures the protection of family members, neighbors, and the community from sharps injuries.
