Start by asking each Plano company what Texas requires of a medical waste hauler; Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Municipal Solid Waste Permits Section 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.

In Plano, that means hospitals, nursing homes, dialysis and surgery centers, clinics and private practices alike. Public records show 7 hospitals, 9 nursing homes, 10 dialysis centers, 18 surgery centers and 2 health center sites. The provider registry lists 276 physician offices with a lab certificate, 431 dentists and 161 pharmacies. If your facility handles sharps or blood-soiled materials, it needs a medical waste program.

A Plano 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 Plano 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 Texas’s rules, where it is regulated as medical waste. Household sharps and medicines follow separate local rules, so check with your local health department in Collin and Denton counties.

Texas regulates medical waste as medical waste. The main rules are cited as 30 TAC 326.3(23); 25 TAC §1.132(2), (7), (8), (38), (42), (44), (46). Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Municipal Solid Waste Permits Section is one of the agencies that oversees them. Federal OSHA oversees workplace safety for private employers in Texas. Requirements can differ by waste type and by county or city, so confirm what applies to your Plano facility.

Not from a healthcare facility. OSHA’s bloodborne pathogens standard requires contaminated sharps to go into closable, puncture-resistant, leakproof, labeled or color-coded containers, which are then collected for treatment. Household sharps follow local rules, so check Texas’s household sharps guidance in Collin and Denton counties.

MedPro Disposal provides online OSHA bloodborne pathogens and HIPAA training with certification to Plano practices. OSHA requires the bloodborne pathogens training when someone is hired and at least annually after that.
