@apryl29 They have the sharps containers provided. They are in the restroom. He's just to much of an A-Hole to bother using them. He gets in trouble when I report him then is good for about a week. Then he does it again. And I report him every time.
Legally in a public place he should use a sharps container but honestly he could use whatever as long as he stops putting them in the trash.

Sounds like he's just a trash person.
x2 to Stacey's idea. I'd leave a note saying that you will not be emptying that guy's trash can if there's any needles in it. Let it pile up. You could also suggest that if he's going to continue to do it then they can put a sharps container in his office if it's too inconvienent for him to use the one in the restroom. I can imagine he's a wonderful person to work with. I'm not sure how the note would go over.... I guess if you're planning on ending the contract anyway then go for it.
 
So I ran into an HR lady tonight and we had a wonderful talk! She knew of 3 reports, not six, and is very upset. They are adding sharps containers to more restrooms cause I guess he can't walk that far. facepalm-gesture-smiley-emoticon.gif

She gave me her direct number and said let her know if it happens again. Also, don't collect is trash if I see one. Problem is they are usually at the bottom. I dump their cans so it's in my larger trash can already.

Well my point is that she shouldn’t have to “go through” any trash with the worry of potential risk of there being a used needle in it.
Thanks just damn decency.
You know when he learned how to give himself his insulin they taught him all this.

...unless it isn’t insulin he’s using.

Just a thought. For what it’s worth.
 
Nunny, don't empty his trash if you see any needles in it, and leave a note stating why it wasn't emptied, basically that it is a biohazard risk, and you are not going to risk getting stuck. You can then let public health and OSHA know the situation, and they will deal with the employer and employee. Since you aren't getting what you need from that account, you can cite lack of supplies and the biohazard as reasons for terminating their service, but give them a written warning, and have a copy signed that they received it. It will cover your backside if they continue current practices. For the time being, use one of the other trash cans and gradually empty his trash in it. If you see a needle, dump it all back in his can and leave a note. One issue you have to deal with, besides the danger to you and anyone handling the trash after you, is that you could be liable for any injuries and for it being put in the landfill.

Rae, congrats on getting things rolling, it's a good feeling when the road block finally gets moved out of the way.
