In Moss Point

What we collect here, and from whom

Clinics working on grant funding cannot absorb a surprise on the invoice, and a waste contract with a fuel surcharge and an annual escalator is exactly that kind of surprise.

There is no long-term contract here and no hidden fee. A site that fills one container a month pays for one container a month, and mail-back has no monthly fee at all, so a quiet quarter costs nothing.

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

Community health clinics Vaccination, draw and screening sharps.
Family practices The steady light baseline.
Occupational health Intake draws and injury care from industrial employers.
Dental clinics Sharps, extraction waste and amalgam recycling.

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
