Sharps Disposal

When you’re ready to safely dispose of sharps, they must be placed in a secure sharps container.  AMS offers a variety of containers for sharps disposal.  If the container is DOT PGII rated then it is approved by the DOT to be a stand-alone container and no secondary packing is needed.  Otherwise, it must be placed in a red plastic bin that is DOT approved for transportation.
