Bio Systems: Reusable Sharps Bins

Stericycle's Bio Systems reusable sharps bins, UN-approved and reusable up to 600 times after washing and disinfection, provide a sustainable alternative to single-use containers.

Remember...

They are not single use containers that require incineration and therefore should NEVER be placed in wheeled bins.

Stericycle will collect and replace your Bio Systems containers.
