Start by asking each Macon company what Georgia requires of a medical waste hauler; Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD), Land Protection Branch, Solid Waste Management Program can tell you what applies. Then compare where the waste is treated, whether you receive records for every pickup, how pickups are scheduled, and what the contract says about its length and about price increases.

In Macon, that means hospitals, nursing homes, dialysis and surgery centers, clinics and private practices alike. Public records show 3 hospitals, 12 nursing homes, 9 dialysis centers, 13 surgery centers and 11 health center sites. The provider registry lists 109 physician offices with a lab certificate, 113 dentists and 69 pharmacies. If your facility handles sharps or blood-soiled materials, it needs a medical waste program.

The cost depends on how much waste your Macon practice makes, your containers, how often you need pickups and how we get into your building, so we quote each facility individually. MedPro customers save an average of 30%. MedPro quotes in Macon ZIP codes have projected annual savings of $30,404 for a general practice, $7,828 for a dermatology, and $3,000 for an urology.

A healthcare facility in Macon 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 Georgia’s rules, where it is regulated as biomedical waste. Household sharps and medicines follow separate local rules, so check with your local health department in Bibb County.

Georgia regulates medical waste as biomedical waste. The main rules are cited as Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 391-3-4-.01(7), 391-3-4-.15(2), (3)(c). Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD), Land Protection Branch, Solid Waste Management Program is one of the agencies that oversees them. Federal OSHA oversees workplace safety for private employers in Georgia. Requirements can differ by waste type and by county or city, so confirm what applies to your Macon facility.

No, not for a healthcare facility. Sharps go into a puncture-resistant, closable, labeled or color-coded container, replaced before it overfills, and then into a collection program. Personal sharps from home have their own local options in Georgia.
