Biohazardous waste removal, also referred to as biomedical or infectious waste is a special type of regulated waste commonly generated in the medical industry and contains infectious materials or potentially infectious substances. These infectious and contaminated agents or materials are a threat to public health and the environment. Biohazardous waste is dangerous, therefore strictly regulated, and must be disposed of properly to prevent exposure or injury.
