Sharps Medical Waste Services offers route pickup as well as mailback and combined programs. GICMD gives you another pickup proposal to consider. We work through how much waste builds up, where it waits and when staff can receive collection, then agree the containers, frequency and price. Availability is confirmed for each US address.

Ready to move from mailback to planned collection?
If preparing mailback shipments no longer suits your team's routine, GICMD can plan collection around your practice. We bring containers, waste volumes and working hours into one proposal, so you can see how pickup would work and what it would cost.

Why choose GICMD
Look at the work between collections.
Tell us how your current mailback routine works and what you'd like to change. We use that alongside waste volumes and storage to propose the collection arrangement. Staff can see what they'll prepare for pickup before you decide to change the service.
Plan each location on its own needs.
A satellite clinic may fill containers much more slowly than a busy treatment centre. Give us the requirements for each location so we can propose the relevant containers and frequency. Your GICMD contact can help with collection changes, records and billing questions once service begins.
Compare pickup before changing your routine
Keep current service in place until the new collections are confirmed.

Questions before you switch
Does Sharps also provide pickup service?
Yes. Sharps advertises route pickup, mailback and combined programs. Compare the specific pickup arrangement available to your practice with the GICMD proposal.
Can different clinics have different collection plans?
Yes. We review waste volumes, storage and collection needs for each address, then confirm the service we can offer locally.
What happens to unused mailback materials?
Check their disposal and return terms with your existing supplier. Include unused materials when planning the start date so a paid-for service isn't overlooked.
