Types of Waste We Handle

We provide both one-time pickups and routine waste removal for various types of medical waste, including:

Pathological Waste

Pathological waste includes tissues, organs, and other biological materials removed from human and animal bodies during surgery and autopsies. This type of waste must be handled with extreme care to prevent exposure and contamination. At SWI, we follow strict procedures for the collection, transportation, and disposal of pathological waste in order to comply with federal and state regulations.

Chemotherapy Waste

Chemotherapy waste includes personal protective equipment, vials, IV tubing, and patient-care items that have come into contact with chemotherapy drugs. Because of its toxicity, chemotherapy waste needs to be segregated and placed in color-coded containers to await treatment.

Pharmaceutical Waste

Expired, unused, and contaminated pharmaceuticals need to be disposed of properly to prevent misuse and environmental contamination. We handle both hazardous and non-hazardous pharmaceutical waste, offering a secure disposal solution for hospitals, pharmacies, and medical offices.

Sharps Waste

Sharps waste includes needles and any other object capable of puncturing the skin. Improper disposal of sharps can lead to serious injuries and increase the risk of spreading blood-borne pathogens. We provide secure sharps disposal for healthcare facilities of all sizes.
