In Wiggins

What we collect here, and from whom

In a county this size, one hauler decision covers almost everything, which makes it worth making properly. Mississippi requires no transporter permit, so there is no license to check; what you can check is whether a manifest comes back.

MDEQ recommends exactly that: require certified manifest forms documenting proper management and disposal, and keep a copy on file. Ours arrive with every pickup, and mail-back returns an electronic certificate instead.

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

  • Rural family practices One container of injection and draw sharps, filling over months.
  • County and public health clinics Immunization and screening sharps.
  • Veterinary clinics Mixed and large animal vaccination needles in quantity.
  • Dental offices A country practice sharps and amalgam, both in containers sized for slow filling.

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
