Sharps Compliance

I was in need of a company to provide training to my hospital housekeepers regarding handling of regulated medical waste. Sharps Compliance promised they could provide the training my company needed. To ensure we were all on the same page, I forwarded Sharps Compliance a copy of the training itinerary we were required to use, and a copy of the certificate that specifically stated the name of the course. What we got was simply blood borne pathogen training, which did not apply, and was useless to us. I requested a full refund, which to date Sharps Compliance has refused to pay.
I would prefer to give this company a zero rating, because they wasted my time and money, and promised to deliver training that in reality they could not provide. In other words… they lied to me and ripped me off. This is a terrible company, and I highly recommend you do not use them… ever.

Terrible company, a complete unprofessional mess. They are lead by amateurs /​trashy types. No professionals here.

Too bad the fine print on the box is smaller than the print in a used car ad in the Newspaper.
I had thought, this is great. The XYL had found a inexpensive way to dispose of my Sharps (used insulin needles) when she found their self-​contained unit at the Walgreen’s around the corner from the house.
It took me a couple of months, but i filled the container up. We dutifully purchased a replacement unit, and then started to package up the used needles to send in for disposal.
Had we misplaced the shipping label. On the brightly colored and illustrative box there was, in large print, use the enclosed container to return your Sharps via the USPS.
So, we tore around the box, and could not find the label.
Time to look on the website.
Ah. At this point we were directed at the very fine print that says «*additional fees may apply».
Yeah. $ 20.00 worth of «additional fees may apply» if you wish to have a return address label that you can print off to return the container to them.
I applaud this company for coming up with a novel, and functional way of disposing of used needles. It is a service that has been needed for sometime. But, after paying $ 5.00 for the pretty box with the oh-​so-​fine fine print on it, only to find that there is an additional $ 20.00 «additional fees may apply» waiting for you if you wish to properly dispose of their box.
Seems disingenuous to use fine print to cover up, what seems to be a rather high, «additional fees may apply».
No. I fell for this trick twice. I will not fall for it a third time. I’ll take my Sharps elsewhere to dispose of them. I’ll be damned if I am going to be forced, via very fine print, to pay a out of range fee, to a company that has to resort to using very fine print to hide their money grab: «additional fees may apply».
Not recommended. Take your business elsewhere.

Edit: after a series of calls (local Department of Health) here locally, I found out that if I placed the SHARPS in a close able, seal able container, that I could dispose of them via our local trash pick up. And, that locally the definition of a seal able, close able container can be a coffee can.
Your mileage may vary.
Dependent on local laws, you may be required to use this service.
My gripe is this: sell the unit for the cost of the unit and the postage required to send it out to their disposal facilities. Why use smoke and mirrors, via small print, to make people spend extra money. Why not charge it up front, and be upright about it? The practice of using small print to accomplish this, stinks of bad business practices.
