The Technology Supporting Us
As a measure to always keep our costs as low as possible we are constantly searching for new and improved technology to streamline our
process. Also these new technologies are more and more environmentally friendly so not only do we save you money we are helping save the earth! One example of this is our truck routing technology.
This technology lets us plan as many stops as we need that day and chooses the most efficient routes to make our pickups quicker.
What Is A Hauler, Anyway?
In the waste disposal industry a hauler is a company that just transports waste. They will take the waste from your facility and move it to a business that destroys your waste for a fee. Using these third party waste facilities instead of owning your own disposal facility obviously raises prices. Other than that paying another company to sterilize your waste means your hauler doesn’t choose how your waste is destroyed. This means they may not be choosing environmentally friendly and efficient choices, contrary to our commitment to the environment.
HWM owns our own sterilization plants, which means we control your waste from beginning to end, saving you money and guaranteeing high quality service.

Flint, Michigan Medical Waste FAQ and Related Searches
Medical waste is healthcare trash that contains infectious or potentially infectious items. It can come from hospitals, medical clinics, veterinary offices, dental clinics, research facilities, or medical laboratories. It can contain blood or other bodily fluids, or it can appear benign, like gloves or gowns.
According to the Medical Waste Tracking Act of 1988, it’s defined as any waste created during treatment, testing, immunization, research, or diagnosis of human beings and animals. Examples include sharps like scalpels or needles, tissue, fluids, glassware, swabs, culture dishes, or bandages.
- Expired vaccines
- Tissue from humans or animals
- Gowns, gloves, or gauze that may have blood on them
- Waste from rooms of patients with infectious diseases
- Needles, scalpels, and broken glass used in procedures
- Laboratory cultures, stocks, and contaminated culture paraphernalia
- Bedding from infected animals
The WHO identifies the 8 categories of medical waste as:
- Infectious waste
- Sharps waste
- Pathological waste
- Chemical waste
- Cytotoxic waste
- Pharmaceutical waste
- Radioactive waste
- Nonhazardous general waste
Those types cover all the potential varieties and sources of regulated and non-regulated healthcare waste.
You know hospitals and doctor’s offices create medical waste. But blood banks, dental clinics, and urgent care clinics create it too. Pharmacies, veterinary clinics, medical testing labs, research labs, nursing homes, hotels where patients stay, and funeral homes also create regulated waste.
Even an office building can generate biohazardous waste. Why? Because if someone gets a nosebleed at work and uses a tissue to stop it, they’ve created regulated waste. There was a hotel in Boston, next door to Mass General Hospital, was fined twice for medical waste violations from hotel guests.
