One of the most important factors to consider when choosing medical waste disposal services is if the service provider is reliable for the services your company is looking for. Many large medical waste disposal companies will promise reliable pickup and customer services and will not follow through with that promise.
In This Article
At MedPro Disposal, we follow through with that promise. Our goal is to save our customers money while providing reliable medical waste disposal services. We ensure that our customers will get what they pay for when partnering with us.

Common Questions
- How much does medical waste disposal cost?
- Cost depends on waste volume, pickup frequency, container size, waste type, and location. Most practices pay a flat monthly or per-pickup rate rather than being billed per pound. Typical monthly costs range from about $50-$200 for small practices and dental offices up to $1,000+ for long-term care facilities, with hospitals and large health systems running $1,000-$50,000+ per month — see our full pricing breakdown by facility type. MedPro customers also save an average of 30% by switching from their previous provider.
- What's the difference between medical waste and biohazard waste?
- Biohazard waste is a subset of medical waste. Medical waste is the broad category (including sharps and pharmaceuticals); biohazard waste specifically refers to material containing or potentially containing infectious agents.
- What happens to medical waste after pickup?
- Most regulated medical waste is autoclaved (steam-sterilized) to achieve at least a 6-log reduction in microorganisms. Waste that can't be autoclaved — pathological or chemotherapy waste — is typically incinerated under EPA air-quality controls. You receive documentation confirming compliant treatment.

- MedPro Disposal provides medical waste, sharps, and pharmaceutical waste disposal plus compliance training in 48 of the 50 U.S. states through a nationwide network of direct routes and regional hauling partners.
