Medical Waste Disposal Rio Rancho, NM
Welcome to “The City of Vision”. Rio Rancho, New Mexico is the third-largest city in New Mexico, and also one of the fastest expanding. At the 2013 census, Rio Rancho clocked a population of 93,820.Rio Rancho was founded by Spanish settlers in 1710, which was called the Alameda Grant. Once the 20 th century grew near, land investment companies purchased this territory. Amrep Corporation purchased a total 55,000 acres of land, therefore turning it into housing that is now called “Rio Rancho Estates”. This all took place in the early 1960’s. Surprisingly enough, the early settlers made their way here from New York. The advertisers targeted New York media in order to boost population growth and it did exactly that. From 1970 to 1980 the population did have significant growth, growing tenfold. Thanks to the Intel Corporation, the opening of their plant in 1981 brought many jobs and lots of prosperous economic performance for the city to grab hold of. By a longshot, Intel employs many of the Rio Rancho citizens. The service industry, retail, as well as government sectors are in addition major employers nearby. Rio Rancho also hosts the site of Intel Fab 11X, which is to this day one of the largest semiconductor fabrication plants worldwide. This facility is worth $2 billion, and was opened only 14 years ago, in 2002.In 2005, the city became the first U.S. city that offered voice-over-WiFi. Although it was a bit of a letdown according to the many residents, it was still a great experiment. The residents complained about the service did not live up to their expectations, and was a little overhyped. Healthcare is said to be a growing field, and most likely always will be. People are going to get sick, especially as populations rise. MedPro covers practices anywhere from large hospitals to small clinics. We are not worried about the size of your facility, our main concern is to provide a required service all the spreading our knowledge. Our customers understand that their best interest in mind at all times. Large or small, we will work with you to reach the best fit solution for you. We create an effective plan tailored to your output and the requested frequency of service. Our pricing is all on the same platform, making it simple and easy to get started with us. With medical costs on the rise, many practices are looking for alternative solutions. We are the low-cost, alternative solution for you. Quality of service is never in question.
What truly separates MedPro from its competitors? We take great pride in explaining the MedPro Advantage. Your price is based on your generated amount of waste and how often you need us to come remove your waste. Our customized pick-up schedule allows you to expect when a pick-up will occur. Whenever your bin fills, we will be there to exchange a new one in its place. All in all, we devote ourselves to getting you a competitive cost. All this is great, but many are unsure from square one.
What exactly is medical waste? At this point in the game, we are professionals in answering this. Medical waste is simply defined as any item that comes in contact with bodily fluids. More specifically stated, it is any solid waste that is generated in the diagnosis, treatment, or immunization of humans. A perfect example of this is sharps. Let’s say sharps were used on a patient. Immediately following this procedure, that waste must be disposed of in the medical waste container. In addition, surgical gloves, gauze, also bandages, must make their way into the biohazardous container. Reaching back to 2011, the CDC did a study that showed roughly 17 million were running into infectious items as a result of the lack of education and safe-handling practice. Eventually, 99,000 of these 17 million did pass away. Many of these deaths could’ve been prevented, which is why we came into the industry. Such a simple service, yet it was being carried out improperly and the right measures were not taken.
Like most things in life, eventually a solution arises. We have that solution. It is very, very important to keep your wastes allocated in the right containers. Hazardous and non-hazardous materials must remain separated at all times. If the two were to combine at any moment, don’t worry. These materials are all now deemed hazardous and will have to be disposed of accordingly. Many are unsure as to what steps to take in order to stay safe and compliant.
Our OSHA Compliance training eliminates all confusion, all in one training portal. In purchasing this training, not only will you be compliant and up to standards, but so will your faculty members. A great perk to this portal is that it is very easily accessible. Many have told us that they just could hire someone to come in and teach the entire facility in one day. Our response to that was simple. How many healthcare facilities have 6 hours of time to give up? We will leave it to you to answer that question. This portal allows you to take the training piece by piece. At any moment, save your progress and pick it back up whenever capable.
MedPro Disposal got its beginning due to the outcry for a low-cost, alternative provider. This service is required, and many were getting caught in a pricey headache for a service so simply carried out. On average, our customers can expect to see 20-40% savings annually from their current spend. We want to save you money, and many facilities are not used to that. Let us handle your garbage, you go ahead and get back to your patients. They need you the most.

Rio Rancho Little-Known Facts
The area was included in the Alameda Grant which was established by the Spanish in 1710. By the early 20th century a vast amount of the land was purchased by land investment firms. AMREP Southwest Inc. bought a large acreage and constructed a major housing development during the 1960's. Between 1970 and 1980 the population of Rio Rancho experienced substantial growth. Since the 1990's the city decided to rely less on the city of Albuquerque by establishing its own school and library systems and bringing new businesses to the city.
