TriHaz Solutions and Star Discount Pharmacy are now offering a community sharps disposal program that serves the Huntsville and Madison, Alabama and Pulaski, Tennessee areas.
“TriHaz is a local company that serves the communities where we operate,” says Kevin Webber, TriHaz Partner. “We continually receive calls from people asking how to dispose of their personal sharps waste and we service businesses. There was a need to provide a safe, convenient disposal option for individuals and Star Pharmacy stepped up as the perfect partner.”
Sharps Disposal Boxes
Drop-off boxes are clearly labeled for sharps only and all sharps must be in a puncture-resistant, sealed container. No pharmaceuticals are allowed. “Sharps” is a term used for devices with sharp points or edges that can puncture or cut skin. Some common examples are needles used to inject medication, insulin pens, and lancets or “fingerstick” devices.

The boxes are located near or in the pharmacy at the following Star family locations:

Sharps Waste is Properly Managed
Star Pharmacy Buyer Steve Hammer says, “We’re excited that TriHaz brings the resources of a full-service medical waste company. We know that our pharmaceutical and sharps waste will be properly managed. And they are locally owned and operated, just like us. We both want to help our community stay safe.” He says that if you do not see the drop-off box, just check with the pharmacist.
