Types Of Medical Waste We Handle

Sharps Needle Management

Improperly discarded needles, scalpels, and syringes pose significant risks to healthcare workers and sanitation staff. At Secure Waste, a leading sharps disposal company in Maryland, we provide safe containment solutions with puncture-resistant sharps containers and compliant collection methods. 

Biohazard Waste Disposal

Biohazard waste, including materials contaminated with blood, body fluids, and infectious agents, requires precise handling to safeguard the healthcare environment. Our team separates and processes items such as soiled dressings, personal protective equipment, and laboratory cultures to prevent the transmission of diseases. We also eliminate pathogens and reduce environmental impact by using advanced disinfection and incineration technologies.

Chemotherapy Waste Disposal

We ensure trace and bulk chemotherapy materials, including IV bags, tubing, and drug vials, are isolated and destroyed in compliance with EPA and Maryland state regulations. Dedicated containers are also provided for on-site segregation, reducing the risk of accidental exposure. 

Pathological Waste Disposal

Tissue samples, organs, and other pathological materials require sensitive and highly regulated disposal methods. We manage these waste streams through incineration and specialized containment solutions. Our approach ensures full respect for sensitive materials while prioritizing public health protection.

Pharmaceutical Waste Management

Medications that are expired, unused, or partially used cannot be discarded in regular trash due to the risk of drug diversion and environmental contamination. So, we supply secure containers that prevent tampering and misuse while ensuring proper segregation of hazardous and non-hazardous drugs. 

Hazardous Waste Disposal

We manage hazardous by-products such as chemical solvents, laboratory reagents, and heavy metal residues under strict EPA RCRA guidelines and Maryland-specific hazardous waste laws. Our trained experts ensure incompatible materials are never mixed, reducing the risk of fire, spills, or toxic exposure. 

Biomedical Waste Disposal

At Secure Waste, we specialize in managing biomedical waste, including contaminated gloves, gowns, bandages, and disposable medical instruments. We supply clearly labeled containers for on-site segregation, ensuring that biomedical waste is never mixed with general trash streams.
