Put the same questions to every company serving Farmington: what New Mexico requires of them (New Mexico Environment Department, Resource Recovery Bureau can confirm), where your waste is treated, whether you get a record of each pickup, how often they collect, and how the contract handles its term and price changes. Two or three quotes on the same terms will show the real differences.

The cost depends on how much waste your Farmington 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%.

A healthcare facility in Farmington 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 New Mexico’s rules, where it is regulated as infectious waste. Household sharps and medicines follow separate local rules, so check with your local health department in San Juan County.

New Mexico classifies medical waste as infectious waste (20.9.2.7(I)(5) and (S)(13) NMAC). New Mexico Environment Department, Resource Recovery Bureau is one of the agencies that enforces the rules. NMED, Occupational Health and Safety Bureau (NM OSHA) oversees workplace safety rules in New Mexico. Your Farmington facility may also have county or city requirements to confirm.

Not from a healthcare facility. OSHA’s bloodborne pathogens standard requires contaminated sharps to go into closable, puncture-resistant, leakproof, labeled or color-coded containers, which are then collected for treatment. Household sharps follow local rules, so check New Mexico’s household sharps guidance in San Juan County.

Yes. MedPro Disposal offers online OSHA bloodborne pathogens and HIPAA training with certification, so a Farmington practice can handle its training and its waste pickup with one provider. OSHA requires bloodborne pathogens training at hire and at least once a year for staff with exposure risk.
