You’re busy – so we make it easy to correctly segregate and dispose of pharmaceutical waste

Pharmacies & Chemists

Safe, cost-effective, sharps and pharmaceutical waste management

With safety at the forefront of its solutions, more pharmacies are choosing Sharpsmart for its secure, compliant and safety-first sharps and pharmaceutical waste services.


Sharpsmart’s pharmaceutical container systems are leading a new wave of healthcare waste containment designed first and foremost to PROTECT. We understand you are busy, so Sharpsmart partner with you to take the complexity out of correctly disposing of medications and non-hazardous pharmaceutical waste. Per the Health Technical Memorandum 07-01 (HTM-07-01), pharmacies are legally responsible for guaranteeing that their waste is properly segregated, labelled, and packaged for transport. Pharmacies must also provide safe and secure storage for their waste while providing accurate documentation. Sharpsmart can help with every step of this process to ensure your facility is compliant.

With over 30 years of experience in healthcare, Sharpsmart has the solutions, licensing and compliance expertise to protect the safety risk and regulatory responsibilities of pharmacies in the total management of pharmaceutical and other healthcare wastes. Through our Verify Waste Identification Tool we assist customers in categorising pharmaceutical waste and identifying what is hazardous. Providing education on proper waste segregation of medicinal waste, controlled drugs, prescription drugs, and cytotoxic or cytostatic waste is a priority and we are always happy to advise on best methods of disposal. We work with you to review, analyse and streamline your pharmaceutical waste stream and provide compliant collection, containment and treatment advice to ensure your risk is mitigated
