A company that handles medical waste would have to be hired to pick up the sharps container.
Usually the sharps containers
come with a box you can mail the red plastic sharps container back to the company you purchased the kit from for proper disposal.
Nobody is hired to pick up
Biohazard clean up kits . All done by mail .
Classes on biohazard cleanup are usually an hour
and the salesperson usually will come to your place of business.
