About Oakland, California

In 1851, three men, Horace Carpentier, Edson Adams, and Andrew Moon began developing what is now downtown Oakland. In 1852, the Town of Oakland was incorporated by the state legislature. During this time, Oakland had 75-100 inhabitants, two hotels, a wharf, two warehouses, and only cattle trails. Two years later, on March 25, 1854, Oakland re-incorporated as the City of Oakland. Horace Carpentier was elected the first mayor, though a scandal ended his mayorship in less than a year. In 1853, a preparatory academy was founded in Oakland that soon became the College of California, and in 1869, the first campus of the University of California. The university moved just north to Berkeley in the 1870s.

What’s the difference between a contract and a service agreement?

While your price for service is guaranteed for 12 months, you are never locked into a contract. Our service agreement is a document that details the services that MedWaste will provide along with the price that you can expect to pay.

It is not a locked contract, and you may cancel or change services at anytime without fees, penalties or damages. See a sample of the MedWaste service agreement that is currently in use here.

When do you bill for the service and how can invoices be paid?

MedWaste will send an invoice at month’s end for all services performed and products delivered during that month.

The invoice is due 15 days after its receipt. You will be asked if you’d like to receive your invoices through email or regular mail. All invoices can be paid with credit card or check.

Enroll in Autopay by completing and submitting an authorization form or by enrolling through your accounts online portal.

How often must my medical waste be collected?

According to the regulations in California:

– More than 20 pounds of biohazardous waste per month, you can store your medical waste onsite for up to seven days.
– Less than 20 pounds of biohazardous waste per month, you can store your medical waste onsite for up to 30 days.
– Storing your biohazardous waste at or below 32° Fahrenheit i.e. in a freezer, you can store your medical waste on-site for up to 90 days.
– Pharmaceutical waste that can be stored on site for up to 90 days from when the container is ready for disposal.
– The container should be emptied at least once per year according to medical waste regulations.
– Odor and storage considerations may require that you remove your waste more frequently.

What if we we’re scheduled for a collection but actually don’t have any waste that time?

If you don’t expect to have any medical waste for disposal when your service is scheduled to occur, give us 24 hours notice Monday through Friday and we will gladly skip that scheduled service. No service charges will apply.

What time do your pick-ups take place? What if we need a pick-up outside of your regular hours?

Most of MedWaste’s pick-ups occur between 7am and 4pm. However, MedWaste can usually accommodate facilities that need their waste collected earlier or later.

What if we need an extra pick-up between our scheduled pick-up times?

If you need an extra pick-up between your scheduled pick-up times, we are happy and able to help. Simply call or email us and we’ll quickly schedule your extra pick-up . Standard service charges will apply. 
MedWaste is flexible and we try to meet the individual scheduling needs of each of our customers.

Are there circumstances when a facility must remove waste more frequently?

Odor and storage considerations may require that you remove your waste more frequently.

What is a tracking document and how does it work?

In California, medical waste is tracked using approved documentation from the point of its creation until its treatment for disposal. MedWaste uses approved electronic medical waste tracking documents, a superb and compliant way to easily and accurately track medical waste.

When your medical waste is collected, our driver and your customer rep will sign a state-approved electronic tracking document on the driver’s mobile device. The electronic tracking document details the amounts and types of medical waste collected at that time. As soon as the tracking document is signed, it will be sent to you by email. It will also be permanently stored on your Compliance Program account, so you can view and print it at anytime.

When your medical waste is dropped off for treatment and disposal, you will be sent, and have access to, the updated tracking document that has the added signature of the treatment facility’s representative. The invoice that you receive for service (by mail or email), will detail the waste that was collected, and attest to, and certify, its proper treatment and destruction.

At any time you can view, download and print your past medical waste tracking documents by logging in to your Compliance Program. Your compliance program username and password are sent to you as soon as your account is created, and can be resent by request.

See a sample medical waste tracking document here.
