As a suburb of Atlanta, GA, Alpharetta enjoys the beauty of their scenic location with the advantages of urban access. In the center of Alpharetta is the Historic District that boasts some of the buildings that date back to the late 19th century and some even older. However, this town also includes a number of modern buildings as well as an array of festivals throughout the year.
Alpharetta is another town that was created due to the 1830’s relocation of the Native American tribes that resided in the area called “The Trail of Tears”. The removal of the inhabitants allowed vacant land that was situated along the former Cherokee trail and stretches from the Chattanooga River to the North Georgia Mountains. It served as a trading post for the original settlers and one of the first permanent landmarks of the area was the New Prospect Camp Ground. At the time it was known as “Milton” and it wasn’t until 1858 that the city of Alpharetta was chartered.
It’s believed that the name of the town is a variation on a fictional Indian girl by the name of “Alfarata” in a song that was popular in the 19th century, The Blue Juniata. There are others that think the name was created as a derivative of the first letter of the Greek alphabet. Today Alpharetta is claim to outdoor concerts, historic walks and tours, festivals and an array of restaurants, art and culture.

Common Questions
- What counts as medical waste?
- Medical waste is any waste generated during the diagnosis, treatment, or immunization of humans or animals that may be contaminated with blood, body fluids, or other infectious material — including sharps, blood-soaked dressings, cultures, and pathological tissue. Non-contaminated items like standard packaging are not regulated medical waste.
- How much does medical waste disposal cost?
- Cost depends on waste volume, pickup frequency, container size, waste type, and location. Most practices pay a flat monthly or per-pickup rate rather than being billed per pound. Typical monthly costs range from about $50-$200 for small practices and dental offices up to $1,000+ for long-term care facilities, with hospitals and large health systems running $1,000-$50,000+ per month — see our full pricing breakdown by facility type. MedPro customers also save an average of 30% by switching from their previous provider.
- Is medical waste disposal legally required?
- Yes. Any facility generating regulated medical waste must comply with OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, applicable EPA/DOT rules, and their state's specific medical waste regulations, which vary by state.
- What's the difference between medical waste and biohazard waste?
- Biohazard waste is a subset of medical waste. Medical waste is the broad category (including sharps and pharmaceuticals); biohazard waste specifically refers to material containing or potentially containing infectious agents.
