Biohazard Waste & Regulatory Compliance

From hospitals to dentist offices, medical professionals are required by law to uphold OSHA, HIPAA, DEA, and EPA standards. This means that pharmaceutical waste must be properly destroyed, medical equipment must be sanitized and treated before disposal, and other chemical residues must be kept from contaminating the environment. Put together, all of these regulations make it difficult for private healthcare offices to reliably meet these standards without outside help.

WasteX understands different medical waste requires different treatment and disposal methods. From autoclave sterilization to incineration, we make sure that normal biomedical wastes (like gauze and latex gloves) are treated differently from sharps (like scalpels and syringes) or process waste (like mercury or amalgam). Our industry-leading medical waste disposal services guarantee regulatory compliance and streamlined efficiency, designed to save you money.
