Behavioral health and therapy
In a psychiatric setting the sharps container is a ligature and access risk before it is a waste problem, which changes where it goes and how it is mounted. The volume is low. The placement decisions are not trivial.

What these facilities generate
Long-acting injectables and routine blood monitoring are most of the stream. Clozapine and lithium monitoring draws, depot antipsychotic injections, and the occasional dressing add up to a light load spread over a month.
Where it gets specific is containment. Containers belong in staff-controlled clinical rooms, securely mounted, and emptied on a schedule rather than when someone notices. The service is built around that rather than around tonnage.
What applies to you
The general standards apply, and the facility's own safety policy usually sets a tighter bar on access.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 covers clinical staff with reasonably anticipated exposure.
Containers in staff-only clinical areas, securely mounted, is standard practice in behavioral health settings.
DEA-scheduled medication destruction runs under 21 CFR 1317 through a registered route, not through this service.
A manifest and proof of destruction per pickup, filed with your other facility records.
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
