What Kinds of Waste Are Generated in Medical Clinics?
Clinical waste includes all the materials produced during medical diagnosis and treatment. 85% of the waste produced in clinics and other healthcare settings is considered general, non-hazardous waste. The remaining 15% is classified as hazardous and includes materials that are infectious, reactive, carcinogenic, or flammable.
When clinical waste is disposed of properly, it can help prevent infections from spreading, ensuring a safe environment for patients and healthcare workers. Proper waste disposal of clinical waste is also necessary for legal compliance.
Our Waste Disposal Services for Medical Clinics
We provide a range of waste disposal services for medical clinics and urgent care centers. Our team manages every step of waste disposal, from collection to treatment. We serve medical practices of all sizes and can tailor our approach to fit the needs of your facility.
Types of Clinical Waste We Handle
Our team is fully equipped to manage the following types of medical waste:
- Infectious Waste: This includes any material that has come in contact with pathogens and has the potential to spread disease. Common examples include used needles and gloves.
- Pathological Waste: This refers to waste derived from human or animal bodies, including organs, tissues, and bodily fluids. These substances need to be handled with care to prevent infection.
- Sharps Waste: This includes used needles, scalpels, and other objects that can puncture the skin and spread diseases. Used sharps need to be stored in puncture-proof containers while they await treatment.
- Pharmaceutical Waste: This refers to unused or expired medication. While certain kinds of medication can be flushed down the toilet, others require special handling in order to be disposed of safely.
How Our Clinical Waste Disposal Service Works
Our clinical waste disposal service is designed to be simple and compliant:
Step 1: Initial Consultation
We will begin with a consultation to assess the types and amount of waste generated by your facility. This will allow us to create a disposal plan tailored to your needs.
Step 2: Pickup Scheduling
Next, we will ask you to choose your pickup frequency. Your schedule can be set for daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, annual, or one-time pickups.
Step 3: Safe Disposal
After your schedule is confirmed, our team will be able to collect your facility’s waste as often as you need. Your waste will be transported to one of our licensed facilities for treatment and final disposal.
