Medical Waste Disposal Schaumburg, IL

Approximately 28 miles northwest of the Chicago loop is Schaumberg, a village of about 75,000 people and home to the Woodfield Mall, the 11th largest mall in America.

The original inhabitants were American Indians from various tribes, but later people from Germany came to settle in the area and the township was named for Schaumberg County in Germany.

Hoffman Estates borders Schaumberg on the north and is home to St. Alexius Medical Center, a hospital with 300+ beds and over 2,000 employees. Schaumberg is also the future home of the world headquarters for the American Society of Anesthesiologists, a medical association with over 50,000 members. The Bonaventure Medical Group and the NCH Medical Group have offices in Schaumburg and hundreds of physicians, nurses, and other medical professionals live and work in the village.

Physicians in Illinois receive licenses through the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and most doctors are members of the Illinois State Medical Society. State agencies and professional societies have, for years, maintained and enforced the standards that make the American healthcare system the envy of the rest of the world.

With the operation of hospitals, doctor’s offices and other medical facilities in Schaumburg comes medical waste. Also called bio-hazardous waste, this by-product also falls under the supervision of a regulatory agency, in Illinois it is the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. The State of Illinois calls medical waste Potentially Infectious Medical Waste (PIMW) and defines it as waste generated in connection with the diagnosis, treatment (i.e., provision of medical services), or immunization of human beings or animals; research pertaining to the provision of medical services; or the provision or testing of biologicals.

Because of the hazardous nature of medical waste, this is a very serious part of medical operations and the professional companies that handle it must be licensed, qualified, experienced, and insured.

When a physician, practice manager, or hospital administrator considers the choice of a medical waste company there are factors that should be weighed very carefully. One of those factors is cost.
