An important aspect of the healthcare industry that is often overlooked is medical and biohazard waste disposal. Proper handling, collection, transportation, and disposal of medical and biohazardous waste is vitally important for the safety and protection of healthcare professionals, patients, hospital workers, and the community at large.
Tulsa’s medical and biohazard waste disposal is regulated by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), Oklahoma State Department of Health, and the Occupational Safety & Health Administration. The DEQ defines regulated medical waste as discarded or reusable materials containing an infectious substance generated during the diagnosis, treatment, or immunization of people or animals, or during research pertaining to the diagnosis, treatment, or immunization of people with a disabling or fatal disease.
Examples of medical waste include human blood and blood products, human body fluids, pathological waste consisting of human tissue, organs, and body parts removed during surgery, autopsy, or biopsy; contaminated sharps; used collection bags, tubes, and vials; contaminated carcasses of animals; soiled masks, gloves, gowns, and bedding; cultures and stocks of infectious agents, including HIV-containing cells or tissue cultures; and any other material or equipment deemed contaminated by the healthcare facility staff.
Oklahoma law requires all large-quantity generators of medical and medical waste to have a hazardous waste disposal plan in place that addresses the removal and disposal of regulated medical and medical waste.
MedPro is a national medical waste disposal company that specializes in pick-up, removal, transportation, and disposal of regulated medical waste, biohazard waste, sharps, and pharmaceuticals.

Where can I dispose of medical waste in Tulsa?
Medical waste from a Tulsa practice goes to a company set up to collect and treat it, not into the dumpster or to a drop-off site. Oklahoma regulates it as regulated medical waste. Waste from home use, such as personal sharps, follows separate household rules in Osage, Rogers, Tulsa, and Wagoner counties.

Oklahoma regulates medical waste as regulated medical waste. The main rules are cited as OAC 252:515-1-2; 252:515-23-1(f), 23-2.

Requirements can differ by waste type and by county or city, so confirm what applies to your Tulsa facility.
Can I throw sharps in the regular trash in Tulsa?
No, not for a healthcare facility. Sharps go into a puncture-resistant, closable, labeled or color-coded container, replaced before it overfills, and then into a collection program. Personal sharps from home have their own local options in Oklahoma.
