Medical waste disposal in Pascagoula, MS

Pascagoula is the Jackson County seat and an industrial town, which puts occupational health alongside the usual clinical generators. Intake physicals, drug screening and injury care produce the same regulated waste as a doctor's office, in a very different rhythm.

What we collect here, and from whom

Industrial medicine is where this business started. Greer handled bio-hazard removal and medical waste for industrial customers from 2001, and opened the service to medical practices in 2010. A shift-based intake schedule is familiar ground.

The practical consequence is a schedule with slack in it. A week of new-hire intakes fills containers that then sit idle, and the interval has to absorb both without you calling for an extra collection every time a contract starts.

There is no Mississippi office. BioMed works from one office, in Mobile, AL, and South Mississippi sits inside the local pickup area run from it. Pascagoula is in Jackson County, inside the local pickup area. See the rest of South Mississippi, or contact us and the Mobile office will reply.

Industrial first-aid rooms Dressings, gauze and contaminated PPE.
Family and specialist practices The steady clinical baseline of a county seat.

Mississippi rules

What Mississippi asks of you

Mississippi is the loosest of the three states we work in, and that cuts both ways: less to file, and more resting on who you hire.

Two agencies, split at the door

The Mississippi State Department of Health regulates storage and handling inside your building. MDEQ regulates off-site management, transport and disposal.
No transporter permit

MDEQ does not currently require special licensing or permits for medical waste transporters. Checking who you hire matters more here, not less.
No manifest required. Ask anyway

MDEQ recommends that generators require certified manifest forms and keep a copy on file. BioMed supplies one with every pickup, with proof of legal destruction.
Not to a landfill untreated

Solid waste permits generally prohibit municipal disposal facilities from accepting infectious medical waste that has not been rendered non-infectious.

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
