What we collect here, and from whom

For a practice this size the honest answer is usually a box, not a truck. One container at the point of use, replaced when it is full, prepaid in both directions and returning a certificate of disposal for the file.

Scheduled pickup is available, and worth it once a site is generating steadily past about 50 lbs a month. Below that, a national hauler selling you a weekly route is selling you something you do not need.

Our office is at 1909 Brookdale Drive West in Mobile, and this is its home county. Loxley is in Baldwin County, inside the local pickup area. See the rest of South Alabama, or contact us and the Mobile office will reply.

Alabama rules

What Alabama asks of you

Medical waste in Alabama is regulated by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management. Workplace exposure is OSHA's. A short guide to both.

  • ADEM writes the rule

    The Medical Waste Program sits in Division 335-17 of the ADEM Administrative Code, setting minimum standards for storage, transport, treatment and disposal.

  • The truck needs a permit

    Vehicles carrying untreated medical waste in Alabama must be permitted by ADEM. It is a fair question to ask any hauler you are considering.

  • Records follow the waste

    Every pickup should leave you a manifest and proof of legal destruction. BioMed provides both.

  • Your staff, too

    OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens standard applies to anyone exposed to blood at work. Our compliance portal carries the training course.

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

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
