Mobile County, Alabama
Citronelle is the top of Mobile County, rural and a long way from anything. It is the kind of town where a national hauler quotes a surcharge for the drive, which is exactly the case mail-back was designed for.

In Citronelle
A prepaid box does not care how far out you are. The system ships to your address, you fill the container, seal it in the original box and send it back on the label that came with it. No route, no drive time, no fuel surcharge.
Scheduled pickup is available here too, inside the local area, and makes sense once a site is generating steadily. For a rural practice, a vet clinic or a small dental office, the box usually wins on both cost and hassle.

Alabama rules
Medical waste in Alabama is regulated by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management. Workplace exposure is OSHA's. A short guide to both.
The Medical Waste Program sits in Division 335-17 of the ADEM Administrative Code, setting minimum standards for storage, transport, treatment and disposal.
Vehicles carrying untreated medical waste in Alabama must be permitted by ADEM. It is a fair question to ask any hauler you are considering.
Every pickup should leave you a manifest and proof of legal destruction. BioMed provides both.
OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens standard applies to anyone exposed to blood at work. Our compliance portal carries the training course.

Two ways to dispose
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.
For clinics, practices and facilities with steady volume
For small quantity generators, 0 to 50 lbs a month
