Q: Why are your Kits so much more expensive than just a sharps container?

A: Our Kits include not only a sharps container, but full service transportation, disposal and recordkeeping. The cost of the Kit includes shipping to you, the collection container, certified waste packaging, pre-paid return shipping and waste destruction at an EPA permitted Medical Waste destruction facility. You pay one price, the rest of the easy and convenient service comes with it!

Q: Is it safe to mail needles and medical waste through the United States Postal Service (USPS)?

A: Yes, but only through EnviroMed's USPS certified and permitted service. EnviroMed hold a USPS permit for the mailing of sharps and medical waste. Our packaging materials that are included with each Kit have been specially designed and approved by the USPS for this purpose. That's why your waste must be packaged in our Kits for disposal.

Q: Why should I use EnviroMed?

A: Because our products have been designed specially for you. And, our committment to Customer Service means you will be taken care of the same way whether you are a diabetic home needle user or a large company disposing of waste from nationwide locations. Our Program features the only tracking service that keeps your waste secure from your point of use through disposal, with no third party handlers. And, our prices are the best.

Q: I am a diabetic and use needles at home for insulin injections. Do I have to dispose of my waste as medical waste through a professional disposal service?

A: No. Home needle users are exempt from requirements to dispose of their home generated waste as medical waste. However, your needles should be contained in a hard plastic or metal container before you discard them into your trash. Many people feel more comfortable knowing their waste is being handled professionally and in an environmentally sound way. If you feel this way, we would be more than happy to sell you a Kit for home use.
