Downtown Raleigh is home to a diverse network of neighborhoods and entertainment districts that each provide their own personal contribution to the city. The Capital District is the center of government for the state. Home to the State Capital and Governor’s Mansion, the district features some of the city’s most notable attractions, including the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, one of the top ten science museums in the nation that is the state’s number one most visited attraction. The Capital District is bordered to the east and north respectively by the Oakwood and Mordecai historic districts. Two of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, the districts feature numerous homes and buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including Mordecai House, a circa-1785 Greek Revival style dwelling that is the oldest house in Raleigh still occupying its original location.

With the high concentration of healthcare and biotech facilities located within the Raleigh community, medical and biohazardous waste disposal is an important issue that cannot be overlooked. Proper handling, collection, transportation, and disposal of medical and biohazardous waste is vitally important to the success of any healthcare-related facility and should be handled by a licensed medical waste disposal company with extensive experience in pickup, transportation, and disposal of medical and biohazardous waste.

Raleigh Medical Waste Rules and Regulations

Raleigh’s medical waste industry is regulated by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ). The NCDEQ is responsible for licensing, permitting, and compliance of all entities involved in the handling, removal, transportation, and disposal of medical and biohazardous waste.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines medical waste as any waste that contains, or has been exposed to, diseased tissues or infectious microorganisms, including contaminated animal waste, pathological waste, human blood and blood products, discarded sharps, and solid waste such as used surgical gloves and soiled bedding, bandages, and swabs that have been exposed to infectious sources.

Improper management of medical and biohazardous waste can pose a substantial risk to healthcare professionals, patients, and the public at large. According to the World Health Organization, hundreds of thousands of needle sticks and sharps injuries occur each year, resulting in potential exposure to a variety of infections that include hepatitis, meningitis, anthrax, respiratory infections, gastrointestinal infections, and septicemia (blood poisoning). These types of incidents can result in direct and indirect costs to the healthcare industry that include loss of employee time, cost of treatment and laboratory testing of infected staff, and administrative costs related to the investigation of incidents.

The risks associated with these types of incidents are why it is so vitally important to have your medical and/or biohazardous waste collected and transported by a licensed and experienced medical waste disposal company.

Raleigh Little-Known Facts

Raleigh’s roots reach back to the creation of Wake County in 1771, formed from parts of Cumberland, Orange, and Johnston counties. The county was named for Margaret Wake Tryon, wife of colonial Governor William Tryon, and its first county seat was known as Bloomsbury, or Wake Courthouse. Wake County history

Joel Lane helped establish the county and later sold 1,000 acres to North Carolina in 1792 to build Raleigh as the state’s new capital—giving him a key role in the founding of both the county and the city. Joel Lane Museum House

Raleigh Medical Waste FAQs

Who provides medical waste disposal in Raleigh, NC?

You have several options in Raleigh, and MedPro Disposal is among them. We have served healthcare facilities since 2009, hold a BBB A+ rating, and are rated 4.5 out of 5 across 882 Google reviews. Our pickups cover medical waste, sharps and pharmaceutical waste throughout North Carolina. Service is confirmed at your address when you request a quote.

How do I choose a medical waste company in Raleigh, NC?

Put the same questions to every company serving Raleigh: what North Carolina requires of them (NC Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ), Division of Waste Management, Solid Waste Section 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.

Which Raleigh facilities need medical waste disposal?

Medical waste comes from every kind of healthcare facility in Raleigh, from hospitals to small offices. Federal records list 4 hospitals, 12 nursing homes, 10 dialysis centers, 15 surgery centers and 9 health center sites in Raleigh. The provider registry adds 275 physician offices with a lab certificate, 513 dentists and 207 pharmacies. Dental offices, veterinary clinics, labs and private practices add to that, and MedPro serves them all.

How much does medical waste disposal cost in Raleigh, NC?

A Raleigh practice’s cost comes down to its waste, its containers, its pickup schedule and its building access, which is why we quote each one separately. On average, MedPro customers save 30%. MedPro quotes in Raleigh ZIP codes have projected annual savings of $540 for an urology and $7,672 for a chiropractic.

Where can I dispose of medical waste in Raleigh?

Medical waste from a Raleigh practice goes to a company set up to collect and treat it, not into the dumpster or to a drop-off site. North Carolina regulates it as regulated medical waste. Waste from home use, such as personal sharps, follows separate household rules in Durham and Wake counties.

What are the medical waste rules in North Carolina?

In North Carolina, the legal term is regulated medical waste, and the rules are cited as 15A NCAC 13B .0101(38), (44), (46); .1201; G.S. 130A-290(a)(17a). NC Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ), Division of Waste Management, Solid Waste Section is among the agencies involved. NC Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health (NC OSH) Division oversees workplace safety rules in North Carolina. Local requirements can add to the state’s, so check what applies where your facility is in Raleigh.

Can I throw sharps in the regular trash in Raleigh?

A Raleigh 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 Durham and Wake counties.

Does MedPro Disposal offer OSHA and HIPAA training in Raleigh?

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.
