Always Saving Money

We believe that medical waste disposal shouldn’t be expensive. This is a service that is required by law and HWM doesn’t think companies should take advantage of this fact. Nevertheless, many companies continue to operate in ways that unnecessarily raise costs. For example many companies don’t actually destroy your waste at all. The waste is taken to a processing facility they have to pay to destroy your waste, and then charge you for their own costs and the processing plants cost. We own our disposal facilities because we don’t believe in raising costs for no reason.

Cedar Rapids, IA Interesting Information

The city is divided into four quadrants, used in assigning street addresses. 1st Avenue (U.S. Route 151 Business) divides the north and south sides of the city, and the Cedar River divides east and west. Mays Island, in the middle of the river, is the only area of the city where addresses have no quadrant. Areas outside the city limits that have a Cedar Rapids mailing address do not use the quadrants either.

Except in the downtown area, 1st Avenue and the Cedar River tend to run diagonally instead of along the cardinal directions. Due to the curving of 1st Avenue, there are some areas in western Cedar Rapids where NW addresses are actually south of SW addresses.
