Sharps Container Disposal in Katy
Many people are not aware of the requirement to have sharps containers located strategically and conspicuously in different facilities. A sharps container is typically made of thick, rigid plastic with a one-way door on it to accept different sharps items, like needles. They are also colored red and have markings indicating the nature of the items contained inside the container. These containers provide a safe and convenient way to dispose of sharps rather than tossing them in the trash.
Our team can provide you with the right sized sharps container. Some of these are smaller in size and are located in convenient places, such as bathrooms and hallways. We offer a number of different sizes of sharps containers based on the needs of our clients, and we can also provide a regular schedule of pickups and provide clean containers in exchange for the filled ones.

In 1895, James Oliver Thomas laid out a town, and in January 1896 the town of Katy was named through Thomas’s post office application. The name “Katy” was derived from the MKT Railroad Company, which was commonly referred to as “the K-T” (also its stock exchange symbol). On September 8, 1900, the town’s early efforts were swept clean by the Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900, the deadliest hurricane in U.S. history.
