Boston medical waste management services: what sorts of waste do we haul?

One of the challenges of operating a medical waste management services company in this city is the diversity of clientele. It takes a company that is certified and trained, as well as equipped with what it takes to haul it away. We get a number of inquiries from potential customers about what we can and can’t take care of for them, so we thought we’d shed some light on our Boston Area medical waste management services. Here’s some of the stuff that we can haul:

Bio-medical

Bio-medical waste is a blanket term for anything biological that could be considered infectious. Basically, it is any waste generated in the treatment or immunization of humans or animals or generated during research pertaining to those processes. Examples are blood or plasma. Large amounts of bio-medical waste must be treated properly, hauled away using special equipment, and brought to designated stations.

Pharma waste

As part of our Boston medical waste management services, we also dispose of large amount of pharmaceutical waste. Pharmaceutical waste includes expired medicine and pills that are no longer needed. Special attention needs to be paid to this kind of waste due to their addictive(and therefore highly sought-after) nature. We DO NOT deal with controlled substances, however.

Chemotherapy waste

Medical practitioners and hospitals often inquire about our chemotherapy waste disposal services. We do in fact haul these materials. The most common types of waste in this category are vials, bags, and IV tubes. It’s important to store these properly on-site to reduce the risk of dangerous infections or exposure to harmful chemicals.

Glassware

Many of our clients might not be aware that glassware needs to be treated as if it were a sharp. The chances of these pieces breaking and causing bodily harm or infection are relatively high, and they need to be disposed of in a manner that minimizes risk. Vials, dishes, and other glassware need to be stored according to regulations and disposed of by trained medical waste management services company in Boston.

Other items that we regularly haul include:

●    Surgical gloves
●    Biopsis
●    Cultures and swabs
●    Lancets
●    Needles
●    And syringes

This is still not the full extent of our services, though. If you are looking for Boston-Area medical waste management services, then don’t hesitate to contact us. We haul all types of medical waste, and can fit our services directly to your needs. No long-term contracts, and no hidden costs.
