Flint, MI Medical Waste Disposal

Medical Waste Disposal Flint

Local, state, and federal laws require specific handling, packaging, and disposal of the various types of medical waste that could be infectious to people. Protecting the community and the environment means that any facility that is involved in biohazardous and biomedical materials must comply with guidelines or face the consequences of fines and possibly even closing their business. The first step in compliance is in identifying the differences between biohazardous and biomedical.

Medical Waste Companies

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.
