Contaminated Waste Needs Its Own Path

Cleanup is not finished when the surfaces are clean. Carpet, padding, drywall, bedding, cleaning materials, and used protective equipment can all carry blood or other potentially infectious material.

Placing these items in household or dumpster trash can expose sanitation workers, neighbors, and animals to pathogens. Biohazardous waste is regulated, and the rules for packaging, transport, and treatment vary from state to state.

Biohazard waste disposal closes the loop on every cleanup, so contaminated material leaves your property sealed and stays separate from ordinary trash.

Waste Types We Handle

Proper packaging, handling, and disposal of biohazardous waste removed during cleanup, kept separate from regular household and business trash.

  • Materials removed during biohazard and trauma cleanup
  • Carpet, padding, drywall, and upholstery soaked with fluids
  • Used gloves, suits, respirator cartridges, and cleaning supplies
  • Soiled bedding, mattresses, and furnishings that cannot be cleaned
  • Sharps found during cleanup, placed in rigid containers
  • Materials removed during meth lab decontamination

How Biohazard Waste Is Handled

  1. Separate the Waste

    Contaminated materials are kept apart from items that can be cleaned and returned to you.

  2. Seal and Contain

    Waste goes into sealed biohazard bags and rigid, lidded containers suited to the material, including sharps containers.

  3. Remove From the Property

    Sealed containers are carried out carefully so nothing contaminates hallways, stairs, or entrances on the way out.

  4. Send for Proper Disposal

    Waste is sent for disposal through the channels required for regulated biohazardous material where you are.

Good to Know About Biohazard Waste

Never Mix It With Trash

Even small amounts of blood soaked material should not go into a household bin. Keep it isolated until it can be packaged properly.

Sharps Need Special Care

Needles and other sharps found during cleanup are placed in puncture resistant containers to protect everyone who handles them.
