Joliet, IL Medical Waste Disposal. Medical waste, which is broadly waste that has been in contact with blood, other bodily fluids and infectious materials, it is dangerous for a few reasons. One, medical waste or loose sharps in normal garbage bins would be incredibly dangerous for the cleaning staff. Accidentally being stuck by a needle or touching infected blood waste puts people at risk for diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis. Two, throwing untreated medical waste into landfills can actually harm the wildlife and waterways around the landfill. Sometimes animals like birds will take things from the landfill, and if they take infected medical waste they can get sick or they can transfer the illness to other animals or even humans.

HWM owns our disposal facilities. This allows us to not only save you money, but to choose the most environmentally friendly disposal processes available. A lot of medical waste companies are haulers, a hauler is a company that just transports your waste from point A to point B, they don’t destroy it themselves or sometimes even have a contract with you. As you can imagine, this raises their prices and doesn’t give them as much control over when, where and how your waste gets picked up and destroyed.
As the name suggest we are a complete management team of your healthcare medical, biohazard, sharps and other wastes that is regulated. From pickup to destruction, we are the only company that handles your waste
