Under federal transportation requirements, USPS is the only approved shipping vendor for regulated medical waste mailback  programs involving UN3291 sharps waste.

Used sharps and other regulated medical waste are federally regulated as UN3291 Regulated Medical Waste and must be packaged, labeled, transported, and documented according to DOT and USPS regulations.

The generator of the waste is responsible from cradle to grave.

Not all sharps mailback programs meet federal compliance standards. A compliant sharps program protects more than waste streams. It protects your organization. 

If you're not sure that your current system is truly compliant, now is the time to find out.

Testimonial

“Thank you for your help. The waste containers were picked up yesterday afternoon and that was fine, I had just gotten them packed and labeled. Its been a pleasure doing business with your company, especially since we had to sue the last sharps disposal company to get out of their impossible, over-charging contract! (the joke is on them, looks like they got hit with a class action suit and Doc may get some of his money back!) Thank you again and I have passed your companies name on to other veterinarians in the area. Sincerely,"

"We like using your system and we love that we have a place where the sharps can be disposed of properly. I also like the reminders, because it keeps us on our toes. Have a great day!
