What we collect here, and from whom

Distance is priced into most waste contracts, one way or another. A prepaid mail-back system removes the question entirely, because nothing drives anywhere on your account.

The system ships to your address, you fill the container, seal it in the box it came in and send it back on the label provided. Email tracking follows it to destruction and a certificate lands in your inbox. No route, no surcharge, no contract.

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

Small rural practices A container that fills over months.
Veterinary clinics Mixed practice sharps, some of it used off site and brought back sealed.
Occupational first aid Dressings and contaminated PPE from workplace injuries.
Home-injecting patients Prepaid systems that reach a rural address without anyone driving out.

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
