How do I choose a medical waste company in Tucson, AZ?

Two or three quotes on the same terms will show the real differences.

In Tucson, that means hospitals, nursing homes, dialysis and surgery centers, clinics and private practices alike. Public records show 10 hospitals, 21 nursing homes, 16 dialysis centers, 28 surgery centers and 27 health center sites. The provider registry lists 338 physician offices with a lab certificate, 681 dentists and 216 pharmacies. If your facility handles sharps or blood-soiled materials, it needs a medical waste program.
How much does medical waste disposal cost in Tucson, AZ?

MedPro customers save an average of 30%. MedPro quotes in Tucson ZIP codes have projected annual savings of $9,680 for a plastic surgery.
Where can I dispose of medical waste in Tucson?
A healthcare facility in Tucson generally cannot put regulated medical waste in the regular trash or take it to a public collection site. It is packaged, labeled and collected by a company that handles it under Arizona’s rules, where it is regulated as biohazardous medical waste. Household sharps and medicines follow separate local rules, so check with your local health department in Pima County.
What are the medical waste rules in Arizona?
Arizona regulates medical waste as biohazardous medical waste. The main rules are cited as A.A.C. R18-13-1401; A.R.S. § 49-701. Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) is one of the agencies that oversees them. Arizona Division of Occupational Safety and Health (ADOSH) oversees workplace safety rules in Arizona. Requirements can differ by waste type and by county or city, so confirm what applies to your Tucson facility.
Can I throw sharps in the regular trash in Tucson?
A Tucson practice should not. Contaminated needles and blades belong in puncture-resistant, leakproof, labeled or color-coded sharps containers under OSHA’s bloodborne pathogens standard, and the full containers are collected for treatment. Sharps from home use are handled differently, so check your local household rules in Pima County.
Does MedPro Disposal offer OSHA and HIPAA training in Tucson?
Yes, we offer both online with certification. OSHA requires employers whose staff may be exposed to blood or other infectious material to train them at hire and at least yearly, and HIPAA requires covered practices to train their workforce on patient privacy.
