Nursing Homes
Nursing homes, elder care facilities, assisted living facilities, and disabled persons’ facilities must follow strict regulations. Some of the laws and regulations that apply to this sector include the management and disposal of unused pharmaceuticals and medical waste.
Dentists & Oral Surgeons
Whether you are an independent dentist, a dental group, or an oral surgeon your practice produces many similar types of regulated medical waste (RMW) as a traditional doctor’s office but also produces some waste such as amalgam that is unique to their specialty.
Funeral Homes
Many funeral home employees in the course of their daily activities will come in contact with the bodies of those who have passed away. The preparation of a body for funeral services and burial require the use of powerful chemicals along with exposure to biomedical waste.

Sharps Waste
Disposal
Sharps waste is classified by the FDA as biohazardous waste and care must be handled appropriately. Some of the most common medical devices considered sharps waste are hypodermic needles, disposable scalpels and blades, contaminated glass, certain plastics, and dental wire.
Biohazard Waste Disposal
Biohazardous waste is any waste that is of medical origin such as biomedical waste from physicians, laboratories, dentists, nursing homes, and veterinary clinics. Biohazardous waste is any solid or liquid material that contains contaminants like blood and body fluids.
Pharmaceutical Waste Disposal
Pharmaceutical waste includes expired and partially used drugs and vaccines, that are no longer required and need to be disposed. It also includes contaminated pharmaceutical products, discarded items used in the handling of pharmaceuticals, such as bottles or boxes with residues.
Pathological Waste Disposal
Pathological waste is one example of medical waste and just like other types of biohazardous or pharmaceutical waste, it requires a specific disposal process. If your facility produces this type of waste, it must be segregated, packaged, and labeled properly.
Chemo Waste Disposal
Chemotherapy generates some of the most hazardous waste in the medical industry, so when it comes to medical waste disposal, healthcare providers that manage chemotherapy will find that it is a critical aspect of their healthcare waste management plan.
