5 Reasons Your Medical Practice Needs a Waste Service

If you own, operate, or work at a medical practice and don't take advantage of a regulated waste solutions service, you should. Here are five simple reasons why your medical practice needs a waste service today.

Preventing Accidents

If you're not using a waste solutions company to transport and dispose of your company's medical waste, you are exposing your company to risk. As a generator of regulated waste, you are responsible for your waste even after it has left your facility. If there is an accident and your waste is involved, you are responsible for the clean-up. By working with a proven medical waste removal service, you can rest assured your waste will be handled correctly.

Saving Time

Time is money. Your medical practice can save time by partnering with a medical waste service. A reputable medical waste disposal service will come to your location and pick-up your waste for you. Then, when all of your waste is properly disposed of, the company should give you the adequate documentation needed to prove your waste was disposed of correctly.

Increasing Profitability

Waste must be disposed of in the proper collection container and these containers cost money. Each type of medical waste container is handled and disposed of in a specific manner; some methods are more costly than others. By working with an experienced regulated waste disposal service, you can receive training on which type of waste belongs in each type of container. In addition, working with a waste solutions company can improve profitability further because they commonly consolidate like-wastes to dispose wastes in bulk.

Saving Lives

One of the most important reasons to use a regulated waste solutions company is that they have the training and experience to keep everyone safe from the dangerous and infectious waste you need to dispose of. Under-trained companies could make serious mistakes or dispose of waste incorrectly. This could lead to hazardous situations which risk people's lives.

Helping the Environment

If you're a company who takes environmental stewardship seriously, then another reason to partner with a regulated waste disposal service is for the environmental benefits. It's important to know how your waste solutions company disposes of medical waste—some will do it through incineration, others through autoclave. An autoclave, such as the one we have here at BWS, is the environmentally-friendly choice as it doesn't burn the waste it steams it so there is minimal pollution. For more information on the benefits of using a regulated waste disposal service, contact BWS. BWS provides comprehensive infectious waste disposal services to over 7,000 generators each month in Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C., Pennsylvania, Delaware, and West Virginia.

Rebecca Crouse, Randolph Macon Academy

We used BWS for sharps disposal at a doctor's office. I saw their bright truck in the parking lot at work which lead me to call for a quote. They responded to my inquiry quickly and thoroughly, answering all my questions. They gave me pricing that was very reasonable, and lower than many companies I checked. They were a pleasure to communicate with via phone and email, no phone tag! The truck arrived the day and time we planned. The driver was very personable and easy to communicate with. The people I interacted with seem to understand the value of customer service. I would highly recommend them. They will take care of you.

I ran a dental charity for many years, organizing huge clinics to treat those in need. BWS donated their waste disposal services for every clinic for many years, and they continue to do so to this day. This is always a huge job, and they are always reliable, dedicated, and fun to work with. They know what it means to give back.
