During the 1990’s, there was a large increase in accidental needle sticks. In 1997, an estimate of 800,000 was reported. Thus, Sharps MD® was founded by a group of doctors, nurses and various consultants with over 70 years combined experience. Our objective was to find alternatives to protect people and create a safe environment by eliminating accidental needle sticks and reduce the risk of blood borne pathogens while also promoting a green friendly way to decrease landfill volume and high insurance costs.
Sharps MD® personnel have developed a medical waste disposal and management program with the objective to Go Green and Save Green®. With the Florida Department of Health and the Environmental Protection Agency increasing their standards for health and environmental compliance healthcare facilities need to make sure that their regulatory procedures are in compliance. Our medical waste disposal and management program is a complete solution offering pickup, removal, transport, and disposal for a low monthly fee. Sharps MD® partners with licensed treatment facilities and suppliers throughout Florida.
