Clinics and practices
An optometry practice may generate almost nothing. An ophthalmology clinic doing intravitreal injections generates a needle per patient, several times a week. The two need very different answers, and both are covered here.

Prepaid return boxes to all 50 states, for offices that make very little.
What an eye clinic generates
Routine refraction produces no regulated waste at all. Add an injection clinic and the picture changes: anti-VEGF injections, lidocaine, and the blades and cannulas from minor lid procedures all produce sharps that need a compliant route off site.
For a practice at the small end, a single 1 quart mail-back system can cover a whole year. We would rather tell you that than sell you a weekly truck.
What applies to you
Low volume does not mean low obligation. The standard does not have a minimum.
If any employee has reasonably anticipated exposure to blood, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 applies, plan and training included.
Puncture-resistant and labeled, within reach of the clinician performing the injection.
In Florida, documenting under 25 lbs in every 30-day period over the past year can support a permit exemption under Chapter 64E-16.
Mail-back returns an electronic certificate of disposal, which is the record to file.
A summary for orientation, not legal advice. Check the current rule with the agency, or call the office in Mobile, AL.
Two ways to dispose
It comes down to how much you make. Steady volume suits a truck on a schedule. An office that fills a few containers a month can skip the truck and mail them back.
For clinics, practices and facilities with steady volume
For small quantity generators, 0 to 50 lbs a month
