Sharps go into puncture-resistant containers. Soaked items are bagged, sealed and labeled so nothing leaks during transport.
Waste is loaded, the area is checked for stray items and surfaces are wiped down before the crew leaves.
Surfaces where the waste sat are cleaned and disinfected. The owner can ask for a record of what was removed.
The cost of medical waste removal in Dorothy, NJ depends on the amount of material, how it is packed and how it is hauled.
Mixed waste takes longer to sort. When sharps, soaked items and ordinary trash are jumbled together, the crew has to separate them with care.
