Professional and Secure Medical Waste Disposal in Columbus, Ohio.
Regulated medical waste (RMW), also known as “biohazardous waste” or “infectious medical waste” is the portion of the waste stream that may be contaminated by blood, body fluids or other potentially infectious materials, thus posing a significant risk of transmitting infection.
Medical waste transportation requires specialized professionals to do the task. There are various regulations that govern the transport of regulated medical waste. The term ‘medical waste’ includes animal waste, blood, body fluids, micro-biological waste, pathological waste and most importantly, sharps like needles and syringes.
Understanding Medical Waste Disposal Requirements
Once you entrust us with the responsibility of disposing of your medical waste, we give you disposal boxes and red biohazard bags as containers for the medical waste. For sharps, we have separate containers. All this is provided to you free of charge with the service agreement. In this way, the regulated waste is then sealed in the same containers or leak-proof biohazard bags that are then enclosed in containers for shipping. The containers are then sealed and picked up by CleanScene and transported to an approved incinerator.
