Put the same questions to every company serving Bethlehem: what Pennsylvania requires of them (Pennsylvania DEP, Bureau of Waste Management 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.

A healthcare facility in Bethlehem generally cannot put regulated medical waste in the regular trash or take it to a public collection site. It is packaged, labeled and collected by a company that handles it under Pennsylvania’s rules, where it is regulated as regulated medical waste. Household sharps and medicines follow separate local rules, so check with your local health department in Lehigh and Northampton counties.

Pennsylvania classifies medical waste as regulated medical waste (25 Pa. Code § 271.1 (“Infectious waste”, “Regulated medical waste”, “Chemotherapeutic waste”)). Pennsylvania DEP, Bureau of Waste Management is one of the agencies that enforces the rules. Federal OSHA oversees workplace safety for private employers in Pennsylvania. Your Bethlehem facility may also have county or city requirements to confirm.

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.
