Mobile County, Alabama

Medical waste disposal in Theodore, AL

Theodore sits in Mobile County's industrial corridor south-west of the city, and that changes the customer list. Alongside the usual family practices sit occupational health clinics and industrial first-aid rooms, which generate the same regulated waste from very different work.

What we collect here, and from whom

Industrial medicine produces waste in batches. A new-hire intake day fills a sharps container with draw needles and vaccination syringes; a workplace injury adds dressings and contaminated PPE; and then the stream goes quiet until the next contract starts.

Greer Enterprises handled bio-hazard removal for industrial customers from 2001, before the medical waste side opened to practices in 2010, so this is the older half of the business. The schedule is built with slack in it, because an intake week and a quiet week look nothing alike.

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

  • Occupational health clinics Draw and vaccination sharps from intake days, plus screening waste.
  • Industrial first-aid rooms Dressings, gauze and contaminated PPE from workplace injuries.
  • Family practices The ordinary steady stream of injection and draw sharps.
  • Veterinary clinics Sharps and surgical waste on the same service and the same paperwork.

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
