At Harrison Benn, we provide specialist sharps waste disposal services to clinics, hospitals, GP surgeries, dental practices and healthcare facilities across the UK, ensuring your environment stays safe, compliant and efficient.
What Is Sharps Waste?
Sharps waste includes any item that can puncture or cut skin and may be contaminated with bodily fluids. Common examples include:
Sharps Used in Veterinary Practices
Not just human healthcare, veterinary sharps also need secure containment and disposal.
Scalpels, Blades and Lancets
Sharp surgical and diagnostic tools that pose injury and infection risks if not handled properly.
Used Needles and Syringes
Critical for treatment but dangerous once used, requiring secure, compliant disposal.
Contaminated Broken Glass
Glass from laboratory equipment or medical devices exposed to infectious material.
IV Catheter and Infusion Sets
Equipment used for intravenous therapy, often contaminated and requiring specialist disposal.
All sharps waste must be segregated, stored and treated according to HTM 07-01 and UK health and safety regulations.
