Pathological & Chemotherapeutic Waste Disposal

Diagnostic medicine and cancer treatment are significant producers of hazardous waste. The byproducts of pathological and chemotherapeutic treatments and diagnoses can carry cytotoxic waste that’s potentially harmful to any living cell. Secure Waste specializes in the safe and secure removal of all hazardous pathological and chemotherapeutic waste. Our goal is to minimize the potential for exposure to dangerous pathogens and infected materials to the general public. When we talk about waste produced during chemotherapy treatments and pathology, we’re referring to:

Syringes and needles
IV tubes and bags
Used spill kits
Contaminated personal protective equipment (PPE)
Organic materials
Accumulated bodily fluids

All materials that fall under pathological and chemotherapeutic waste must be properly contained in approved containers and transported following all DOT guidelines. To prevent spills, leaks, and contamination, all pathological waste is kept in only approved containers with red bags.
