Baldwin County, Alabama
Robertsdale sits in the agricultural middle of Baldwin County, between the Eastern Shore and the beaches. Practices here are smaller and further apart, and veterinary work is a bigger share of the list than it is on the coast.

In Robertsdale
Mixed animal practice generates a serious sharps stream. Large animal vaccination needles are heavier gauge and used in quantity, and the containers fill faster than a small animal clinic expects.
Human and animal sharps go through the same service and the same paperwork. What differs is the container size, and a mixed practice is usually better off with a larger system than the one it was first quoted.
Our office is at 1909 Brookdale Drive West in Mobile, and this is its home county. Robertsdale 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
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
