Start by asking each Gresham company what Oregon requires of a medical waste hauler; Oregon Health Authority, Public Health Division can tell you what applies. Then compare where the waste is treated, whether you receive records for every pickup, how pickups are scheduled, and what the contract says about its length and about price increases.

Any Gresham facility that treats patients or handles blood, sharps or pharmaceuticals does. In federal Medicare and HRSA records, Gresham has 1 hospital, 4 nursing homes, 3 dialysis centers, 1 surgery center and 5 health center sites. The national provider registry also lists 15 physician offices with a lab certificate, 93 dentists and 16 pharmacies. Private practices, dental offices, veterinary clinics and laboratories generate it too, though not all of them appear in those records.

The cost depends on how much waste your Gresham 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%.
