sharps disposal

[Guest guest]

.... sometimes I learn the hard way, so here's to prevent someone else from doing

the same:

I spent way too much time researching and decided on

http://www.sharpsinc.com/store/medical-waste-recovery.html?size=36

30 gallon with 6 2 gal sharps containers, mailback system, for $280 with all

fees

then realized that Medical systems of Denver () is a much better

deal:

28 gallon container (pick up when full) for $97 total. No containers included

but

https://www.pulmolab.com/-c-21_41.html would cost like $65 for 5 3 gallon

containers

so total price ~$165.

I realize that company is local, but I'm sure a similar one exists in most

cities. Hopefully this tip saves someone some $.

I did, however, realize one way to save sharps space: For shots, we only use

needles where you can take the needle off the syringe, not the permanently

attached. Needle goes into sharps container, syringe into trash. It might take

me a year to fill my 30 gal sharps bin.

Any Denver IMP want to buy some of my sharps disposal space?!
