What is Medical Waste?

The term medical waste refers to any solid waste produced during the diagnosis, treatment, or immunization of humans. Medical waste includes paper towels, wipes, gloves, syringes without needles, bandages or dressings that contain small amounts of dry blood or fluids, and any type of medical waste. Until recently, this waste was collected in plastic bags in clinical settings, and was then disposed of as regular garbage. It was soon discovered, however, that this technique might spread illnesses and viruses, potentially causing outbreaks and viral infections that are deadly. 

Any sharps, needles, and IV catheters that contain blood or body fluids that can be safely removed are currently being disposed of in the red or yellow biohazard containers and bags located throughout hospitals and doctor’s offices. In order to prevent needles from piercing plastic bags otr the bags they’re kept in, all sharp objects must be stored in a container designed for that purpose. We provide medical waste management services throughout Sheffield Waste. We provide medical waste collection in compliance with all laws and regulated at an affordable price.

Different Ways of Disposing of Medical Waste

Regardless of where the waste is treated, it is ultimately either cremated, autoclaved, microwaved, or treated biologically or chemically. The use of incineration has decreased dramatically since the 1990s, as other techniques such as recycling have become more prevalent.  New medical waste solutions allow medical practices to improve the security, convenience and cost savings of their medical waste disposal services.

In order to manage medical waste safely, it must be separated, stored, and disposed of. By doing this, not only are persons and the environment protected, but a legal requirement is met as well.
