Sharps Waste Disposal and MedWaste Management.

Sharps Waste Disposal: Ensuring Safety and Compliance with MedWaste Management. Handling sharps waste is one of the most critical aspects of medical waste management. Sharps waste, which includes any medical waste that can puncture, such as needles or blades, requires meticulous handling and disposal to ensure the safety of healthcare workers, patients, and the environment. MedWaste Management, a trusted medical waste disposal company serving all of California, excels in providing top-tier sharps waste disposal services.

What is Sharps Waste?

Sharps waste encompasses any items that can puncture or cut skin and are used in medical procedures. Common examples include:

  • Needles: Used for injections and blood draws.
  • Syringes: Often found in hospitals and clinics.
  • Scalpels: Utilized in surgical procedures.
  • Blades: Found in various medical and laboratory settings.
  • Lancets: Used for blood sugar testing.

Improper disposal of these items can lead to serious health risks, including needle-stick injuries and potential infections. Therefore, it’s essential that sharps waste is managed with the highest standards of safety and compliance.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
