As an industry leader, Secure Waste understands the importance of compliantly managing the collection, transportation, treatment, and appropriate disposal of various types of waste as required by regulations in your area.

Medical Sharps Waste

Sharps waste should be disposed of in a designated sharps container, including needles, scalpels, blades, and pipettes that have been in contact with blood, body fluids, or microorganisms. These containers can be placed alongside biohazardous waste or in red bag waste to minimize the risk of needlestick injuries and ensure the safety of employees.

Pathological Waste

Pathological waste, including human and animal body parts, organs, tissues, and surgical specimens devoid of formaldehyde, formalin, or other preservatives, must be packaged separately in containers clearly labeled for incineration. We are ready to help you and your staff ensure the safe segregation, packaging, and disposal of your facility’s pathological waste. It’s essential to handle this waste responsibly.

Chemotherapeutic Waste

Addressing chemotherapy waste is essential for ensuring a safe environment for patients and staff. This waste includes empty vials, syringes, needles, IV bags, and contaminated gloves. To protect health, it’s crucial to separate, package, and label this waste properly for disposal. By following regulations, we uphold safety standards and show our commitment to everyone’s well-being. Together, we can create a safer healthcare environment!
