sharps disposal

Sharps disposal involves properly discarding used needles, syringes, lancets, or other pointed medical tools to prevent injury and infection. It’s important to use a sturdy, puncture-proof container, like a designated sharps disposal bin or a hard plastic container with a tight lid. Once the container is full, it should be sealed and taken to a designated location such as a medication disposal site, pharmacy, or medical facility for proper disposal. Never throw sharps in the trash or recycling bins, as they pose health risks. Proper disposal ensures safety for everyone and helps prevent the spread of infections.
