Medical Waste Disposal Questions From Cheney and Sedgwick County

Do I need to be home during the pickup?

In many cases the person who calls does not need to be at the property. Ask the team how access and keys can be arranged. If you are out of town, say so when you call. Many teams can arrive in an unmarked vehicle, so ask if privacy matters.

How much does medical waste removal cost?

The price depends on the amount and type of waste, the number of containers, any spill cleanup, travel and access. A cleanup team can give a price after hearing the details. Ask what is included, such as disinfecting the area and disposal records.

Can I take sharps to a pharmacy or fire station?

Some pharmacies, hospitals and local programs accept small household sharps containers, and some do not. Call ahead and ask. Programs differ by city and county, and the local health department can point to the right place.

What are bloodborne pathogens?

They are germs that spread through blood and some other body fluids. Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV are examples. Workers who may come into contact with them are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030.

How long does a pickup take?

A small pickup can be quick, while rooms of mixed waste or a spill cleanup take longer. The time depends on the amount of waste, access to the property and whether surfaces need cleaning. A cleanup team can give a realistic idea once it hears the details.
