Safe, compliant sharps disposal—fully managed for you
Citron’s Sharps Waste Disposal Service provides a fully managed solution for the safe collection and disposal of used needles and sharps. With compliant containers and expert technician servicing, we help prevent injuries, reduce liability, and keep your facility safe without adding to your team’s workload.
Improper sharps disposal puts employees, customers, and cleaning staff at risk of needle-stick injuries and exposure to harmful pathogens. Citron removes that risk with a reliable, compliant system you don’t have to manage.
The Sharps Waste Disposal system is installed by a Citron Hygiene Certified Technician and is serviced by a licensed provider, so you never have to worry about installation, emptying, or maintenance.
