Sharps disposal is a critical and regulated process, requiring specialized handling and disposal to protect public health and safety. Sharps, such as needles, syringes, lancets, and any other instruments that can pierce or penetrate the skin, pose a significant health risk if disposed of improperly. They may contain hazardous materials or infectious agents like HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C, increasing the potential for accidental exposure or transmission of disease if handled incorrectly.
Medical Solution is a trusted provider of sharps disposal services throughout Toronto, the GTA, and Ontario. We ensure that healthcare facilities, medical practitioners, and even households have access to safe and compliant sharps disposal solutions.
Why Proper Sharps Disposal is Essential
Improper sharps disposal poses several risks:
Accidental Injuries: Individuals who handle waste, such as janitorial staff, healthcare workers, or even public sanitation employees, are at risk of needlestick injuries from improperly discarded sharps. These injuries can result in exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
Infectious Disease Transmission: Used sharps can carry infectious agents like HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C, which can cause serious health consequences for anyone who is accidentally pricked.
Environmental Impact: When disposed of improperly, sharps can contaminate soil and water, negatively impacting both wildlife and ecosystems.
By adhering to sharps disposal guidelines, you help minimize these risks, ensuring public health and environmental protection.

In Ontario, sharps disposal is governed by strict regulations from the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP). These regulations cover the entire process, from containment to collection, transport, and final disposal. Medical Solution ensures full compliance with these regulations, guaranteeing safe and lawful sharps disposal across the province.
