3. Onsite Waste Technologies OnSite Waste Technology is a firm located in Newport Beach, California. We are committed to lowering the risk, cost, and effects that medical waste treatment and disposal leave on the environment. Our current technology TE-5000 is a processing unit of the size of a desktop but transforms the waste, including syringes into disinfected garbage. It lessens the CO2 influence by lessening waste. Our mission is to reduce the transportation of waste to any common location. We are dedicated to presenting greener and cleaner options for processing the disposal of medical wastes. We also look forward to assisting NGOs, first responders, and government agencies to dispose of large quantities of sharps waste to minimize the risk for community members, workers, and others.

4. Stages of Medical Waste Disposal Medical waste disposal is heavily regulated. It is important to understand what is involved in this process, from collection to disposal, so your office can stay compliant with regulations and avoid costly fines and potential litigation. Collecting & Separating The first step in the process is collecting and properly separating the medical waste that the facility has generated. This includes sharps (needles, broken glass, razors, etc) and red bag materials (IV tubing, cultures, infectious and potentially infectious materials, etc). Sharps are to be kept in puncture-resistant sharps boxes. The boxes must be mounted upright, include a closable lid, and be leak-proof on the sides and bottom. The boxes are never to be filled more than 3/4 of the way, and they usually include a fill line reminding you of that fact.

5. Medical Waste Disposal Once medical waste is treated properly, it can then be disposed of at municipal landfills or down sewer systems. There are state and local government regulations, so do your homework. You should also ensure any third party haulers are also following all the regulations. Medical waste generators have a “cradle-to-grave” responsibility for their waste in the eyes of federal, state, and local authorities. This means that even if you pay a third party hauler to treat and dispose of your medical waste, you are liable for any issues that may come up. If you choose a third party, you must ensure they are following all applicable rules that are imposed on your facility whatever state or city it may be located in. Medical Waste Disposal is not a simple process. It involves several steps: collecting, separating, storing, transporting, treating, and disposal, all surrounded by a multitude of laws and regulations. There is a lot more involved in these regulations than what has been mentioned here, like additional OSHA regulations and HIPAA compliance rules for example. So always make sure to consult the relevant agencies for specifics.
