Sharps & Needle Removal in Bristol and the South West
Discreet, fully insured collection and safe disposal of discarded needles, syringes and sharps from premises, land and public spaces. DBS-checked specialists serving Bristol, Cardiff, Newport and beyond.
Discarded needles and syringes are more than an eyesore. Left in a car park, communal stairwell or stretch of land, they pose a genuine risk of needlestick injury and exposure to blood-borne viruses such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV. The moment sharps are found, the safest response is to leave them where they are and call a trained team to remove them properly.
Extreme Kleen handles exactly this kind of work day in, day out across the South West and Wales. Our specialists arrive with the correct PPE, sharps containers and clinical-waste documentation to sweep the site, recover every item and dispose of it through the proper licensed channels. Whether you need a single emergency sweep or a regular scheduled collection to keep a problem site under control, we make the whole job quick, discreet and fully accounted for.
What's included
Full needle sweeps
Systematic searches of buildings, grounds and public areas to locate and recover discarded needles, syringes and hypodermics.
Safe collection of all sharps
We remove needles, syringes, blades, broken glass and other contaminated sharp items into approved, sealed sharps containers.
Compliant clinical-waste disposal
Recovered items are transported and destroyed through licensed routes in line with health and safety and clinical-waste regulations, never household or public bins.
One-off and scheduled collections
Book a single reactive clean-up after a discovery, or set up routine sweeps for sites that see repeat dumping.
High-risk and hidden areas
We cover stairwells, car parks, public toilets, alleyways, derelict properties and other spots where sharps are commonly hidden.

Every job ends with a thorough check so you can be confident the area is clear and safe to reopen to staff, tenants or the public.
Why choose us for sharps removal

24/7 callout for urgent discoveries, so a hazard reported today doesn't sit overnight waiting on a hard-to-reach contractor.
A genuine South West and Wales presence covering Bristol, Cardiff, Newport, Bath, Swansea, Gloucester, Swindon and Exeter, with local teams rather than a national call centre.
Sharps removal: frequently asked questions
What should I do if I find a needle or syringe?
Do not touch or move it, and keep people and pets well away from the area. Report it to the property owner or facilities manager, then call us on 03335 774767 to arrange a safe removal. We handle the recovery and disposal so nobody on your team has to risk a needlestick injury.
Why can't sharps just go in a bin?
Putting needles, syringes or blades in a public litter bin or household waste is dangerous and against waste regulations. They can injure bin staff, cleaners or members of the public and may carry blood-borne viruses. Sharps are classed as clinical waste and must be collected in approved containers and disposed of through licensed routes, which is exactly what we do.
Do you offer scheduled collections as well as one-off sweeps?
Yes. We carry out single reactive clean-ups after a discovery and ongoing scheduled sweeps for sites that see repeat dumping, such as car parks, communal blocks and public areas. Regular visits help housing associations, councils and letting agents stay on top of recurring problems and keep their sites safe.
Which areas do you cover?
We are Bristol-based and work across the South West of England and South Wales, including Cardiff, Newport, Bath, Swansea, Gloucester, Swindon and Exeter. If you are nearby and unsure whether we reach you, just call and we will confirm.
Who do you work with on sharps removal?
We regularly support housing associations, letting agents, councils, universities, and retail and car park operators, alongside other commercial and domestic clients. Wherever sharps turn up on land or premises you are responsible for, we can help you deal with it safely and discreetly.
