What we collect here, and from whom

Community health centers, dialysis and dental clinics carry a lot of the load here, and several of them run on budgets where a waste contract with a fuel surcharge and an annual escalator is a genuine problem.

That is the part worth saying plainly: there is no long-term contract and no hidden fee on either service. A clinic that fills one container a month pays for one container a month, and a site that outgrows mail-back moves to a truck without renegotiating anything.

Our office is at 1909 Brookdale Drive West in Mobile, and this is its home county. Prichard is in Mobile County, inside the local pickup area. See the rest of South Alabama, or contact us and the Mobile office will reply.

  • Community health clinics Vaccination, draw and screening sharps from several small sites.
  • Dental clinics Sharps, red bag waste and scrap amalgam in its own container.
  • Dialysis Fistula needles and bloodlines, heavy and predictable by the shift.
  • Outreach and mobile care Sealed field containers brought back to a base and collected from there.

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.

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

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
