Healthcare waste comes in several different types, known as waste streams. These different types of healthcare waste should be kept separate to avoid hazards and incorrect disposal. Here are the different types of healthcare waste and what you may need to know to handle them correctly.
- Non-industrial solid waste and recycling: Much of the waste at a typical healthcare facility is non-industrial solid waste and recycling (also known as municipal solid waste). You can dispose of this type of waste in one of our commercial dumpsters.
- Medical waste: Pathological, chemotherapy, or clinical waste that presents a higher risk to public health. There are special regulations for handling this type of waste. Contact us or learn more about our special waste handling solutions.
- Hazardous waste: Hazardous waste — which can include everything from lab waste to pharmaceuticals to light bulbs — has stringent state and federal regulations. Contact us or learn more about our special waste handling solutions.
- Sharps and needles: Used sharps and needles can be challenging to handle and pose a safety risk to employees. Sharps and needles typically require specialized containers and disposal programs. Contact us or learn more about our special waste handling solutions.
We offer flexible contract lengths that are designed to fit your healthcare facility needs, requirements, and schedules. Contact us to find a contract that works for you or use our quote tool to check dumpster pricing and availability in your area.
Your waste pickup schedule is dependent on location. Contact us for scheduling questions.
We're committed to sustainability at every step of waste collection through our curb-to-grid waste management approach. What is curb-to-grid?
- Our collections vehicles follow efficient, optimized routes to pick up waste.
- After waste is collected, it’s transferred to one of our waste-to-energy facilities where it’s converted into renewable energy.
- We send this energy back to the electric grid to help power nearby communities and beyond.
- We provide you with sustainability reports that illustrate your impact on the environment.
Dumpsters are sized based on how many cubic yards of waste they hold (so an 8-yard dumpster holds 8 cubic yards of waste). We offer a variety of commercial dumpsters ranging in size from 2 to 10-yards. The dumpster comparison above can help you select the right dumpster for your healthcare facility. And as always, contact our team with any questions you have or if you need a recommendation for your facility.
Compactors reduce the volume of waste — minimizing the number of dumpsters and hauls you need. This can often result in a more cost-effective waste management solution. We offer a variety of compactor styles — including self-contained, stationary, and apartment-style — and will configure your compactor to meet the unique requirements of your healthcare facility. Learn more about our compactors, or contact us to discuss your compactor needs.
