Healthcare Waste

Clean Earth offers tailored waste disposal systems and programs for the medical community, in which challenges are faced each day. Clean Earth will consult with you to identify the proper disposal needs of your facility by conducting a walk through audit of each medical location or specifically respond to those needs you identify. Then, we will create a compliant waste program for hazardous, universal, recyclable and regulated wastes offsite specifically customized for you.

Maintaining your facility compliance requires routine management of offsite wastes, regular facility inspections, satellite accumulation areas in strategic locations, and temporary storage within each facility to remain in compliance. Clean Earth will keep you in compliance.

• Full service disposal options for hazardous waste including chemotherapy, lab samples, obsolete pharmaceutical products, specialty solutions, solvents, lab packing services, mercury removal and specific lab waste.
• Full service disposal options for non-hazardous waste including oils, greases and cleaners, lab samples, obsolete pharmaceutical products and electronic removal. Full service recycling options for universal waste including batteries (removal and collection), lamp and lighting recycling, mercury metal recycle by retort and computer component recycling.
