Affordable, Custom Biomedical Waste Disposal Solutions in Georgia

At Sharps Medical Waste Services, we know that “one-size-fits-all” solutions never fit “everyone.”

Customer needs vary over time and depend on the volume of biomedical waste they generate. For example, a large hospital, a solo veterinary practice, and a blood bank obviously generate different types of medical waste and different quantities.

Our staff works with you to determine the best solution for your organization. For example:

TakeAway Recovery Systems is an all-inclusive system, comprised of a sharps container, a DOT-approved, prepaid shipback box, and the necessary items for proper packaging, TakeAway Recovery Systems are designed for the safe collection, packaging, and transport of sharps and red bag medical waste.
TakeAway Recovery System for Trace Chemo Drugs: These systems support the regulatory compliant collection, transport, tracking, and treatment of syringes, needles, empty vials, tubing, and other items contaminated with trace amounts of chemotherapy.

MedSafe: The MedSafe medication collection receptacles are utilized for the disposal of ultimate-user medications per the 2014 DEA Final Rule. Ultimate users may dispose of their unwanted, unused, and expired prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, and Schedules II-V controlled medications.

MedSafe may be placed in retail pharmacies, LTCF managed by a pharmacy, hospitals/clinics with an on-site pharmacy, law enforcement agencies, and narcotic treatment programs per the DEA’s rule. Additionally, Sharps’s carefully executed pickup schedules keep you compliant with Georgia’s BOP 3-day storage limit on inner liners once removed from service.

Ensuring Compliance with Georgia Medical Waste Regulations

Here’s how we ensure your facility meets regulations:

  • In-house regulatory experts: Our compliance team has over 30 years of regulatory expertise. They use their in-depth knowledge of EPA, DOT, DEA and OSHA requirements to help your business stay compliant. 
  • Tracking and analytics: SharpsTracer is an online program that offers “cradle-to-grave” tracking for returned waste materials. It provides an invaluable chain of custody for compliance and auditing. 
  • Regulatory Hub: Get up-to-date regulation information and training at your fingertips. The Hub online portal gives you 24/7 access to state-specific medical waste regulations, classifications and registration requirements. It also features free compliance training with tutorial videos. 

Supporting Clients Across Diverse Industries

In the State of Georgia, the Department of Natural Resources Solid Waste Management Program governs the handling of medical waste. In Georgia, regulators use the term “biomedical waste” rather than regulated medical waste or infectious waste. We have the expertise and capabilities to scale with your waste disposal needs. Though the difference in terminology may be confusing, especially if you also have operations in states that use the more common term “regulated medical waste” (RMW), you still have to follow state and federal regulations governing management and disposal of the waste. Examples of facilities we support include:

Hospitals

Long-term care facilities

Veterinarians

Pathology labs

Home health agencies

Dental practices

Pharmaceutical manufacturers

Retail clinics

Government agencies
