Medical Waste Disposal Iowa City, IA

Iowa City is a thriving community with a world-class system of healthcare, anchored by the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Iowa City has a population of over 75,000 who, along with the University’s 30,000 students enjoy access to some of the best medical care available anywhere.

Hospitals and physician’s offices are buildings, but it’s the people who make the system work. Dedicated doctors, nurses, administrators, and other medical professionals work together with support industries to form a team that focuses on healing, efficiency, and safety.

• blood-soaked bandages

• culture dishes and other glassware

• discarded surgical gloves

• discarded surgical instruments

• discarded needles used to give shots or draw blood (e.g., medical sharps)

• cultures, stocks, swabs used to inoculate cultures

• discarded lancets

Other items or material may be classified as medical or hazardous waste per the local, state, and federal authorities.
