Start by asking each Rapid City company what South Dakota requires of a medical waste hauler; SD DANR, Waste Management Program 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 Rapid City facility that treats patients or handles blood, sharps or pharmaceuticals does. In federal Medicare and HRSA records, Rapid City has 3 hospitals, 8 nursing homes, 1 dialysis center, 4 surgery centers and 2 health center sites. The national provider registry also lists 39 physician offices with a lab certificate, 116 dentists and 38 pharmacies. Private practices, dental offices, veterinary clinics and laboratories generate it too, though not all of them appear in those records.

A Rapid City 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%.

A healthcare facility in Rapid City 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 South Dakota’s rules, where it is regulated as medical/infectious waste. Household sharps and medicines follow separate local rules, so check with your local health department in Pennington County.

South Dakota regulates medical waste as medical/infectious waste. The main rules are cited as ARSD 74:27:07:01(41A); 40 CFR 60.51c; SDCL 34A-6-93, 34A-6-93.1. SD DANR, Waste Management Program is one of the agencies that oversees them. Federal OSHA oversees workplace safety for private employers in South Dakota. Requirements can differ by waste type and by county or city, so confirm what applies to your Rapid City facility.

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 South Dakota.
