What we collect here, and from whom

A regional medical town generates every stream on the list at once: specialist practices, dialysis, labs, imaging, dentistry, behavioral health and campus clinics, often owned by different people in the same few blocks.

That suits per-site setup rather than one plan for a whole organization. Container sizes and intervals are set building by building, and each pickup comes back with its own manifest and proof of destruction, which in Mississippi is the documentation MDEQ recommends you require and file.

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. Hattiesburg is in Forrest County, inside the local pickup area. See the rest of South Mississippi, or contact us and the Mobile office will reply.

Specialist and surgical practices Blades and suture needles from practices spread across a few blocks.
Clinical and research labs Cultures, specimen tubes, pipettes and broken glass.
Dialysis and infusion Access needles, bloodlines and dressings, heavy by the shift.
Campus and student health clinics Vaccination and draw sharps that spike at the start of term.

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.
