What we collect here, and from whom

The smaller the site, the more the setup matters. One container in the wrong place, at the end of a corridor rather than beside the chair, is how a used needle ends up being carried across a room.

Point of use is the whole rule, and it costs nothing to get right. Beyond that, a prepaid system replaced when full covers most practices here, with a certificate of disposal each time as the record MDEQ recommends you keep.

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

Small practices Injection and draw sharps over a slow-filling container.
Dental offices A small practice sharps stream, with scrap amalgam going to a recycler rather than a landfill.
Home-health visits Sealed field containers consolidated at a base.
Home-injecting patients Insulin and pen needles, returned on the prepaid label when the container is full.

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
