Medical waste disposal is an important part of any hospital or health facility’s procedures. It is extremely important that they put the trash in red bags. These bags are specifically made to hold contaminated medical waste that is considered a bio-hazard. Blood, urine and other bodily secretions collected should be disposed of in these red-bags. If you are disposing large volumes of liquid, see your administration for particular guidelines, state and federal laws continually change. Scalpels, sharps, and needles, as well as broken lab glass and blades also should be disposed properly. Generally, they are to be placed in specially made sharps containers that have medical waste warning labels on them.

Medical waste disposal is a serious threat to our environment and health, it is a federal offense to dispose of improperly. Medical Waste Services is licensed and insured to handle all bio-hazard medical waste. We ensure that all the medical waste is disinfected sufficiently with heat in an autoclave. Microwaves are then used to treat the waste and a HEPA air filter is used to reduce odors to nonexistence. The overall volume is reduced by 80% and is non-infectious by the end of the process. When hiring Medical Waste Services you don’t have to worry about your medical waste management – just leave it to us.
