The largest city in North Carolina is located in the southern part of the state; in fact it is near the South Carolina border. The city takes its name from Charlotte Sophia of Mecklenburg-Strelitz – the wife of England’s King George III.

Charlotte was made a city in 1768 and then later made a county in 1774. From 1837 to 1913 the city was the biggest hub for gold production in the United States. It was also the last meeting place of the full Confederate cabinet. Today Charlotte is the second largest banking hub in the United States and home to two of the nation’s top banks – the Bank of America and Wells Fargo (formerly Wachovia).

Why Medical Waste Management is Important

Medical waste contains biological products that can be highly infectious. It is important that waste generated from healthcare facilities is disposed properly to prevent health and environmental threats. All hospitals, laboratories, research centers and vet clinics need medical waste management to prevent spread of diseases.

Bins and trash cans in medical facilities & physician offices can become a source of infection if not emptied correctly. Remember hospital waste can contain microorganisms which pose a serious threat to the staff and other patients if safety regulations are not followed.
