Covington is part of the Metropolitan New Orleans area and is served by MedPro Medical and Biohazardous Waste Disposal Covington, LA.
Covington is near enough to New Orleans to access their healthcare resources, yet is distant enough to retain its small city characteristics. Lakeview Regional Medical Center and St. Tammany Parish Hospital anchor the healthcare community in Covington, aided by hundreds of dedicated physicians, nurses, and other dedicated medical professionals.
Hospitals and other medical facilities in Louisiana and across the U.S. share a common by-product: medical waste. Also called biomedical waste of biohazardous waste, these materials and fluids are potentially dangerous, even deadly. The Department of Environmental Quality oversees medical waste collection, transportation, and disposal – details are at their website.

Part of the reason for our success is our commitment to listen to the healthcare workers on the front line as well medical administrators and then develop solution-based responses. We call our services and benefits the MedPro Advantage:
Low Costs: With the medical industry in a state of dramatic change, MedPro listened to customers who resoundingly asked for streamlined operations, simple invoicing, and one-flat-fee pricing. We said ok and we implemented them all.
MedPro looked at operations across many regions including Iowa and restructured collections in the same geographic area for the same days whenever possible. This resulted in saved time, mileage and fuel and we passed these savings on to our customers.
Invoicing is easy with MedPro. One invoice with one-flat-fee and no surprises. Our website includes a portal for payments, or payment can be made the old-fashioned way with an envelope and a stamp.

This person is introduced to every new customer and remains their point of contact throughout the business relationship.

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

Where can I dispose of medical waste in Covington?
For a facility in Covington, the answer is scheduled pickup: packaged, labeled and documented, then treated under Louisiana’s potentially infectious biomedical waste rules. Household medical waste is a different category with its own local options in St. Tammany County.
What are the medical waste rules in Louisiana?
Louisiana classifies medical waste as potentially infectious biomedical waste (LAC 51:XXVII.301). Louisiana Department of Health, Office of Public Health, Infectious Waste Program is one of the agencies that enforces the rules. Federal OSHA oversees workplace safety for private employers in Louisiana. Your Covington facility may also have county or city requirements to confirm.
Can I throw sharps in the regular trash in Covington?
A Covington 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 St. Tammany County.
Does MedPro Disposal offer OSHA and HIPAA training in Covington?
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.
