Sharps containers are small but a vital tool to keep employees and the general public safe. Not only do they provide a business's employees and patrons a safe and easy to access location to dispose of their medical use needles and injections pens, but also a sense of assurance that a business not only cares about their employees but also their patrons. They minimize the risk of anyone unknowingly getting any diseases that can be transferred from needles and overall unwanted needle related injuries.
Sharps containers come in a variety of shapes, sizes, methods of disposal, and mounting brackets. Here at Safety, Inc we provide our patrons and general public with these kinds of sharps containers:
Small - Portable Sharps Container

This portable sharps container is perfect for personal use for small needles and EMS Professionals that need to have a sharps container handy for emergencies. With a small size of 6.7" long x 1.2" diameter , portability is priority. This small size makes it easy to use with just one hand. For safety features it has a puncture resistant bottom and a locking lid.
1 Quart Sharps Container

Our 1 quart sharps container comes with an easy to pop on lid that locks tight and makes it difficult to remove the lid. The lid comes with a flat clear lift lid to allows sharps to be inserted either in a rectangular slot or the more round type slot for small injection pens.
5.4 Quart Sharps Container

Our 5.4 quart sharps container has a counter balanced door that slides closed once a needle or injection pen is inserted within the sharps container. This minimizes the risk of anyone trying to reuse or remove needles from the container. We also sell (separately) the locking wall mounting bracket that comes with a locking key for added safety of locking the sharps container in place for this sharps container, pictured below.

Proper Sharps Disposal
It is also equally important for needles and sharps containers to be properly disposed of as they are considered a biohazard. There are several methods of disposal; pick-up, drop-off, or even shipping disposal as where some types of sharps containers comes with prepaid shipping material to ship back full containers. Throwing sharps into the trash is not the proper method of disposal, needles must always be inside a sealed sharps container and they must be taken to an approved disposal location that could be found locally. Here at Safety, Inc. we provide our patrons with either pick-up or drops off disposal service for sharps containers. Below is our current fees:
