Bio-Haz Solutions Inc. - Disposal of sensitive or medical waste

According the the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection ( DEP ), a hazardous waste does not simply include a blood saturated product. It includes any item contaminated by any body fluid that has been used during medical or laboratory procedures.

Other items, for example could include ( but are not limited to ): -

Barrier items such as gloves, masks, and disposable gowns.

Intravenous bags that have been used for blood transfusions.
Items contaminated by any body fluids during routine medical and dental office visits, surgery or autopsy.

Pathological wastes - including tissues, organs, body parts and fluids removed during medical procedures.

Obviously, there is a broad range of items required to be removed at least every 30 days, and "legal" destruction can only be certified by a medical waste manifest on file in each office producing such waste. Failing to do so can result in "very large fines".
