Biomedical Waste Pickup

Marcus with Bio Box 4

POSS Medical operates as a licensed Biomedical Waste Transporter (ID #7772) recognized by the State of Florida Department of Health, specializing in the collection and disposal of sharps waste in the Tallahassee and Gainesville areas.

Sharps waste encompasses materials capable of puncturing the skin and carrying biological contaminants that pose environmental and health risks. This includes needles, syringes, scalpels, microscopic slides, small broken glass, and tubes.

Adherence to EPA, OSHA, and Florida state regulations is crucial for healthcare facilities handling biohazardous materials. Proper handling, treatment, and disposal by a licensed medical waste disposal company, such as POSS Medical, are mandated.

Our service involves scheduled visits to facilities for the secure pickup of sealed, labeled sharps waste contained within rigid, puncture-resistant containers. Each container undergoes inspection by trained personnel to ensure compliance for transportation. We also provide replacement containers upon pickup.

To initiate our service, prospective clients can submit an inquiry form, detailing pickup frequency, number and size of containers, replacement needs, and facility information. This information allows us to provide a customized quote.

Our collection process involves meticulous handling of biomedical waste. Sharps waste is securely sealed, locked, and labeled before our team collects it, eliminating any risk of exposure. Biomedical waste bags, containing disposable non-sharp materials, are managed separately and sealed to prevent leakage or spillage, adhering to stringent Florida Department of Health protocols.

Our team rejects items not properly sealed or locked, ensuring compliance before pickup. Collected containers are securely stored within our facility's restricted area, accessible only to authorized biomedical waste transporters for subsequent destruction.
