What we collect here, and from whom

Large animal practice fills containers faster than people expect. Heavier gauge needles, used in quantity, in a setting where the container is often in a truck rather than a treatment room.

The container still has to be rigid, puncture-resistant and sealed before it travels, and the sharps still have to leave by a compliant route. Human and animal sharps go through the same service, the same paperwork and the same destruction record.

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

Mixed and large animal vets Heavy-gauge vaccination needles in quantity, often used off site.
Small animal clinics Surgical blades and suture needles from small animal surgery.
Rural family practices Draw and vaccination sharps, light enough that the calendar matters more than the fill line.
County clinics Immunization and screening sharps from the county health clinic.

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

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