What we collect here, and from whom

MDEQ does not require your hauler to give you a manifest. Its own medical waste fact sheet says so, and then recommends that generators require certified manifest forms anyway, and that generator, collector and receiving facility each keep a copy.

For a large Gulfport practice that is not a technicality. Collecting the waste does not transfer your responsibility for having chosen a legitimate company, so the file you keep is the only evidence you have. A manifest and proof of legal destruction come with every pickup here, exactly as they do in Alabama and Florida.

There is no Mississippi office. BioMed works from one office, in Mobile, AL, and South Mississippi sits inside the local pickup area run from it. Gulfport is in Harrison County, inside the local pickup area. See the rest of South Mississippi, or contact us and the Mobile office will reply.

  • Multi-specialty practices Injection, draw and procedure sharps across many rooms.
  • Dental and orthodontic offices Sharps across several chairs, with separator canisters to the recycler.
  • Dialysis and infusion Access needles, bloodlines and saturated dressings, heavy by the shift.
  • Labs and testing centers Specimen tubes, pipettes, slides and broken glass.

Mississippi rules

What Mississippi asks of you

Mississippi is the loosest of the three states we work in, and that cuts both ways: less to file, and more resting on who you hire.

  • Two agencies, split at the door

    The Mississippi State Department of Health regulates storage and handling inside your building. MDEQ regulates off-site management, transport and disposal.

  • No transporter permit

    MDEQ does not currently require special licensing or permits for medical waste transporters. Checking who you hire matters more here, not less.

  • No manifest required. Ask anyway

    MDEQ recommends that generators require certified manifest forms and keep a copy on file. BioMed supplies one with every pickup, with proof of legal destruction.

  • Not to a landfill untreated

    Solid waste permits generally prohibit municipal disposal facilities from accepting infectious medical waste that has not been rendered non-infectious.

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

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
