In Ocean Springs

What we collect here, and from whom

Owner-run practices make their own vendor decisions, which is the customer this service was built for. It also means the person choosing the waste company is often the person treating patients, with no procurement department to read the contract.

So the offer is deliberately short: no long-term contract, no hidden fee, no minimum purchase on mail-back, containers included, and a manifest with every collection. Nothing that needs a lawyer to unpick later.

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. Ocean Springs is in Jackson County, inside the local pickup area. See the rest of South Mississippi, or contact us and the Mobile office will reply.

  • Independent practices Injection and draw sharps, steady and modest.
  • Dental and orthodontic offices Boutique-practice sharps, extraction waste and scrap amalgam.
  • Med spas and aesthetic clinics Fine-gauge needles and cannulas from owner-run aesthetic clinics.
  • Veterinary clinics Surgical blades and suture needles from a small animal practice.

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
  • 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
