What we collect here, and from whom

A commuter town north of Mobile generates commuter-town waste: primary care, pediatrics, dentistry and the walk-in clinic that catches everything the family practice cannot fit in. Steady, modest, and entirely regulated.

Most Saraland practices land under or near the 50 lbs a month line, which is the point where the answer stops being obvious. We will tell you which side you are on rather than default you to a truck.

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

Family and pediatric practices Vaccination and draw sharps, a little red bag waste, steady week to week.
Dental offices Sharps, extraction gauze and scrap amalgam, which needs its own recycling container.
Urgent care Suture and injection sharps in bursts, heaviest at weekends.
Home-health bases Field containers coming back from visits, consolidated at the office.

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.

Containers and bags supplied for each waste stream
Routine or flexible pickups, adjusted when your volume changes
