  2. What is Sharp Container • A sharps container is a hard plastic container that is used to safely dispose of hypodermic needles and other sharp medical instruments, such as IV catheters and disposable scalpels. ... This minimizes the distance the containers have to travel and the number of people to come in contact with the sharps waste. • OnSite Waste Technologies mission is to reduce the cost, risk, and environmental impact of medical waste processing and disposal. they developed a desktop-sized processing unit that converts regulated medical waste into sterile garbage that can be placed in a practice’s regular trash. This presents a cleaner and cheaper option to small quantity waste generators and enables them to be more environmentally sustainable by eliminating the need for third-party medical waste haulers.

  3. How to Disposal of Medical Waste • To begin, healthcare facilities may have to register with the government as a Medical Waste Generator, depending on the state of residence. This is very important, as facilities need to be in compliance with state regulations. Certain procedures for managing and disposing of medical waste could differ depending on the state’s laws. • All facilities, regardless of its state of operation, should consistently separate their waste. Specifically, they should separate the Regulated Medical Waste from general waste. In some states, it’s required by law, but it is still good practice even if it’s not.

  4. Most Common Method Most common methods are :- • Incineration: used for pathological and pharmaceutical waste. • Autoclaving: microwave radiation, used for sharps. • Irradiation: gamma rays, used for sharps. • Chemical Decontamination: used for blood and fluid waste • Onsite destruction using one or a combination of these options. All facilities are responsible for managing and disposing of their own medical waste, regardless of state regulations. All facilities should practice care and caution when managing their medical waste, taking the time to sort, contain, and dispose of it in a safe and legal manner.
