Three states, three rulebooks

The law changes at the state line

The waste is the same in every town on this page. What governs it is not. Alabama permits the truck through ADEM. Florida permits the generator through your own county health department and gives you thirty days to get the waste out. Mississippi requires neither a transporter permit nor a manifest, and its own environmental agency recommends you insist on the manifest anyway.

That is why each town here has a page rather than a line in a list: the county you are in decides who you apply to, and the state you are in decides what you have to be able to show. Pick your town and the page tells you which it is.

  • Alabama ADEM, Division 335-17. Vehicles carrying untreated medical waste must be permitted.
  • Mississippi MSDH inside the building, MDEQ once it leaves. No transporter permit, no required manifest.
  • Florida Chapter 64E-16. An annual permit from your county health department, and 30 days maximum on site.
  • Everywhere OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens standard covers your staff, whichever state they work in.

Two ways to dispose

Pickup or mail-back

It comes down to how much you make. Steady volume suits a truck on a schedule. An office that fills a few containers a month can skip the truck and mail them back.

Scheduled pickup

For clinics, practices and facilities with steady volume

  • Containers and bags supplied for each waste stream
  • Routine or flexible pickups, adjusted when your volume changes
  • Collected by trained, experienced personnel
  • Waste manifest and proof of legal destruction every time
  • Local across South Alabama, South Mississippi and the Florida Panhandle, from our Mobile, AL office
Quote a pickup schedule

Mail-back

For small quantity generators, 0 to 50 lbs a month

  • Systems from 1 quart to 28 gallons
  • Prepaid return box and a pre-filled manifest
  • Email tracking from pickup to destruction
  • Electronic certificate of disposal
  • No contracts, no minimums, no fuel surcharges

Mobile, AL(251) 300-6143

Which areas get local pickup?

Local pickup covers South Alabama, South Mississippi and the Florida Panhandle, run from our office in Mobile, AL. The fifty-five towns listed on this page are the ones we are asked about most, not the limit of the area.

My town is not on the list. Do you still collect?

Probably. The list follows the towns we are asked about most. Call (251) 300-6143 and tell us where you are.

What if I am outside the pickup area entirely?

The mail-back program ships to all 50 states, with systems from 1 quart to 28 gallons, a prepaid return label and an electronic certificate of disposal.

Do the rules change from state to state?

Yes, and that is most of why each town has its own page. Alabama permits the transporter through ADEM, Florida permits the generator through the county health department under Chapter 64E-16, and Mississippi requires neither a transporter permit nor a manifest.

Do you have an office in Mississippi?

No. There is one office, in Mobile, AL, and South Mississippi sits inside the local pickup area covered from it.

Not sure if you are in the area?

Tell us where you are. If local pickup does not reach you, the mail-back program ships to all 50 states, so there is an answer either way.
