Our home counties

Two counties, two very different jobs

Mobile County is a city county. Hospitals, specialist practices, dental offices, labs and a working port, most of it inside twenty minutes of the office on Brookdale Drive. Volume is steady and the schedule barely changes from one month to the next.

Baldwin County is the opposite. Small-town practices inland, and beach communities whose clinic load triples between May and September and then falls away. The same service covers both because the schedule moves when your volume does, and there is no contract locking you into a summer interval all winter.

  • The office, and the only one 1909 Brookdale Drive West, Mobile, AL 36618. Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM.
  • 18 towns on this page Eight in Mobile County, ten in Baldwin, each with a page of its own.
  • ADEM rules apply throughout Division 335-17 of the ADEM Administrative Code, the same in every town on the list.
  • Mail-back covers the gaps A practice too small for a truck can run on prepaid systems instead.

South Alabama

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

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

Alabama rules

What Alabama asks of you

Medical waste in Alabama is regulated by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management. Workplace exposure is OSHA's. A short guide to both.

  • ADEM writes the rule

    The Medical Waste Program sits in Division 335-17 of the ADEM Administrative Code, setting minimum standards for storage, transport, treatment and disposal.

  • The truck needs a permit

    Vehicles carrying untreated medical waste in Alabama must be permitted by ADEM. It is a fair question to ask any hauler you are considering.

  • Records follow the waste

    Every pickup should leave you a manifest and proof of legal destruction. BioMed provides both.

  • Your staff, too

    OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens standard applies to anyone exposed to blood at work. Our compliance portal carries the training course.
