Put the same questions to every company serving New Orleans: what Louisiana requires of them (Louisiana Department of Health, Office of Public Health, Infectious Waste Program 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.

Medical waste from a New Orleans practice goes to a company set up to collect and treat it, not into the dumpster or to a drop-off site. Louisiana regulates it as potentially infectious biomedical waste. Waste from home use, such as personal sharps, follows separate household rules in Orleans County.

Louisiana classifies medical waste as potentially infectious biomedical waste (LAC 51:XXVII.301). Louisiana Department of Health, Office of Public Health, Infectious Waste Program is one of the agencies that enforces the rules. Federal OSHA oversees workplace safety for private employers in Louisiana. Your New Orleans facility may also have county or city requirements to confirm.

A New Orleans practice should not. Contaminated needles and blades belong in puncture-resistant, leakproof, labeled or color-coded sharps containers under OSHA’s bloodborne pathogens standard, and the full containers are collected for treatment. Sharps from home use are handled differently, so check your local household rules in Orleans County.

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