Medical Waste Disposal Baton Rouge, LA
Hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, laboratories, doctors’ and veterinarians’ offices, private households-and many other places-have to dispose of materials that have been used in medical care or treatment. Some of this material is infectious-that is, it has the potential to cause some kind of infection and/or disease. Examples of medical wastes are used “sharps” – hypodermic needles and syringes, IV needles, scalpel blades, and glass items; items containing or soaked with blood or certain other body fluids; human or animal organs or body parts; lab cultures that may contain disease-causing agents; and things like gloves, bedding, dressings, sponges, and other items that have been used in surgery, autopsy, or treatment of patients with certain contagious diseases.
When doctors and medical administrators consider a relationship with a medical waste service provider they consider several factors. MedPro Medical Waste Disposal Baton Rouge, LA operates in 44 states, including Louisiana, and has grown rapidly because of our commitment to be responsive to our customers. Several solution-based services and benefits we developed have been bundled into a package we call the MedPro Advantage.
What is the MedPro Advantage?
Low Cost: Our customers told us the last several years have swamped them with new rules and regulations which have increased their costs. Insurance companies are paying them less, and they are working harder for less money – they’ve asked us to keep our costs low.
We keep costs low with streamlined service that emphasizes efficiency. Whenever possible, MedPro will arrange pick-ups from offices in the same geographic area for the same day. This reduces fuel costs and we pass those savings on to our customers.
Service that is “right-sized” means MedPro talks to customers about the number of pick-ups necessary for their particular situation and then sets up a service plan and schedule. If two pickups are needed, we won’t schedule three. Our customer will always only pay for what is best for them.
Training: MedPro personnel are trained and re-trained on the critical measures necessary for everyone’s safety and we share that knowledge with our partners. The MedPro Online Safety Compliance Portal (MOSCOP) is a unique and valuable resource offered to our customers that includes access to OSHA and HIPPA training as well as online safety plans including fire safety and exposure control. Certifications are available online as are regulations from across the country. Our Louisiana customers tell us they save time and money using the portal.
Low Risk: MedPro carries a very high amount of insurance coverage. Customers in Baton Rouge tell us they feel more secure when their risk is minimized and we have always maintained this important benefit.
Customer Support: Our customers have asked us to be available and responsive whenever they reach out to us and MedPro Medical Waste Disposal Baton Rouge, LA has responded with the Dedicated Customer Advocate. This unique position was created to place an accessible human contact in easy reach of our customers. Each customer is introduced to their own advocate on day one of their relationship with MedPro.
Any issues, questions, compliments or complaints are directed to this person who is charged with efficient resolution and customer satisfaction.
We are also pleased to offer customers in Baton Rouge our Unwanted Pharmaceutical Disposal Program. This program is used to dispose of old and expired medications, controlled and non-controlled.

Baton Rouge Little-Known Facts
The European-American history of Baton Rouge dates from 1699, when French explorer Sieur d'Iberville leading an exploration party up the Mississippi River saw a reddish cypress pole festooned with bloody animals that marked the boundary between the Houma and Bayou Goula tribal hunting grounds. They called the pole and its location le baton rouge, or the red stick.

How do I choose a medical waste company in Baton Rouge, LA?

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

Public records show 12 hospitals, 21 nursing homes, 13 dialysis centers, 10 surgery centers and 36 health center sites. The provider registry lists 157 physician offices with a lab certificate, 331 dentists and 171 pharmacies. If your facility handles sharps or blood-soiled materials, it needs a medical waste program.
How much does medical waste disposal cost in Baton Rouge, LA?

MedPro customers save an average of 30%. MedPro quotes in Baton Rouge ZIP codes have projected annual savings of $27,420 for a dental, $1,576 for a veterinary, and $336 for a long term care facility.
Where can I dispose of medical waste in Baton Rouge?
A healthcare facility in Baton Rouge 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 Louisiana’s rules, where it is regulated as potentially infectious biomedical waste. Household sharps and medicines follow separate local rules, so check with your local health department in East Baton Rouge County.
What are the medical waste rules in Louisiana?
In Louisiana, the legal term is potentially infectious biomedical waste, and the rules are cited as LAC 51:XXVII.301. Louisiana Department of Health, Office of Public Health, Infectious Waste Program is among the agencies involved. Federal OSHA oversees workplace safety for private employers in Louisiana. Local requirements can add to the state’s, so check what applies where your facility is in Baton Rouge.
Can I throw sharps in the regular trash in Baton Rouge?
A Baton Rouge 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 East Baton Rouge County.
Does MedPro Disposal offer OSHA and HIPAA training in Baton Rouge?
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.
