What we collect here, and from whom

Mixed animal practice generates a serious sharps stream. Large animal vaccination needles are heavier gauge and used in quantity, and the containers fill faster than a small animal clinic expects.

Human and animal sharps go through the same service and the same paperwork. What differs is the container size, and a mixed practice is usually better off with a larger system than the one it was first quoted.

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

  • Mixed and large animal vets Heavy-gauge vaccination needles in quantity.
  • Small animal clinics Surgical blades and suture needles from routine surgery.
  • Family practices Vaccination and blood draw sharps, steady week to week.
  • Dental offices Anesthetic carpules, needles and burs, plus a separate amalgam container.

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

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
