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.
