Medical waste disposal is an important part of any hospital or health facility’s procedures. So important that they put the trash in red bags. In these bags go pretty much all contaminated waste that is considered a biohazard. Blood, urine and other bodily secretion-soaked items should be disposed of in these bags. If you are disposing large volumes of liquid, see your administration for particular guidelines, since these change accordingly. Scalpels, sharps, and needles, along with broken lab glass and blades also should be disposed of in these bags.

Medical waste disposal is serious stuff; it can’t just be thrown in any old landmine. In Australia there was recently a spat about a new housing district being too close to a medical waste incinerator. 1000 meters was the disputed line, but here in the U.S. things are different. MedAssure moistens and shreds all of the medical waste to ensure that all the medical waste is disinfected sufficiently with heat. Microwaves are then used to treat the waste and a HEPA air filter is used to reduce odors to nonexistence. The overall volume is reduced by 80% and is non-infectious by the end of the process. With MedAssure you don’t have to worry about medical waste management.
