Santa Rosa County, Florida

Biomedical waste disposal in Navarre, FL

Navarre is a beach community on the Santa Rosa coast, which means a clinic load that climbs through the summer and falls away again, and a permanent population smaller than the crowd it treats in July.

What we collect here, and from whom

Seasonality and the thirty-day rule pull against each other. A quiet winter month can leave a container part-filled, and Florida does not let you hold biomedical waste at the generating facility for more than 30 days regardless of how full the container is.

So the interval is set by the calendar as much as by the volume, and it tightens when the season arrives. There is no contract fixing it either way, and a smaller practice can hold a reserve mail-back system for peak weeks without paying for it until it is used.

BioMed works from one office, at 1909 Brookdale Drive West in Mobile, AL, and the Panhandle is inside the local pickup area run from it. Navarre is in Santa Rosa County, inside the local pickup area. See the rest of the Florida Panhandle, or contact us and the Mobile office will reply.

  • Walk-in and urgent care Suture and injection sharps, climbing through the summer.

Florida rules

What Florida asks of you

Florida calls it biomedical waste and runs it through Chapter 64E-16 of the Florida Administrative Code. A short guide, for orientation.

  • A permit from your county

    Facilities that generate biomedical waste apply for an annual permit to the county health department where the business sits. Here that is the Florida Department of Health in Santa Rosa County.

  • The 25-pound exemption

    A facility that can document less than 25 lbs in every 30-day period over the previous 12 months can qualify for an exemption from the permit. The rest of the rule still applies.

  • 30 days on site

    Biomedical waste may not be stored at the generating facility for more than 30 days, so the pickup schedule has to keep up.

  • A plan and trained staff

    Facilities keep a written biomedical waste operating plan. Staff are trained before they handle the waste and take a refresher every year.

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
Quote a pickup schedule

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

Our container is not full but 30 days have passed. What then?

It still has to go. Florida caps on-site storage at 30 days at the generating facility, whatever the fill level, so the interval is set by the calendar as well as the volume.

Can the schedule tighten for summer?

Yes, and loosen again afterwards. There is no contract fixing the interval.

Do you collect in Navarre?

Yes. Navarre is in Santa Rosa County, inside the local pickup area.

Who issues our permit?

The Florida Department of Health in Santa Rosa County.

Are there seasonal surcharges?

No. No hidden fees and no fuel surcharges.
