Medical Waste, Sharps Container, and Waste Management Solutions for Safe and Efficient Disposal

Medical waste collection presents unique challenges to healthcare facilities throughout Australia and the world. Because of the harmful pathogens, germs, and microorganisms present in hazardous medical waste, it can be a source of infection. If medical waste containing mercury, toxic chemicals, or dioxins is burned, the situation could be hazardous to the general public.

If medical waste is not properly disposed of, it can contaminate groundwater in the landfill and release hazardous chemicals into the environment. Heavy metal incineration can result in the release of toxic metals into the environment. Medical waste collection and sharps container collection can only be done by a specialised waste management company, as not only will improper disposal result in problems such as infection and possible regulatory penalties, but different types of medical waste require different collection, treatment, and disposal methods.

Solo Resource Recovery is a professional waste management company that collects specialised medical waste and sharps containers for the treatment of hazardous medical waste. To ensure that your medical waste is collected in a professional and compliant manner, the company uses specialised vehicles and containers for medical waste collection and sharps container collection. Solo waste management company has a trained crew to collect, transport, treat, and dispose of medical waste collected from healthcare facilities in a safe manner.

Specialised medical waste and sharps container bins

Solo waste management company provides standard 240 liter wheelie bins for medical waste and sharps container collection. Specially designed bags in sizes ranging from 1.5 L to 10 L, and 22 L to 60 L and 120 L, are available for collecting various pathological waste types such as needles and syringes, soiled and blood-soaked bandages, culture dishes, discarded surgical instruments, gloves, swabs, pharmaceuticals, and more. Solo Resource Recovery disposes of medical waste in a safe and environmentally responsible manner, which is critical for reducing the risk of injury, the spread of infection, chemical toxicity, and pollution.

Innovative biomedical waste techniques

The company employs a variety of biomedical waste disposal techniques, including autoclaving, which uses a very hot stream to completely destroy microorganisms. This is a better option than incineration, which can be costly. Microwaving is another technique for biomedical waste disposal in which medical waste is shredded, mixed with water, and then internally heated to kill pathogens and microorganisms. Microwaving has the advantage of significantly reducing the volume of biomedical waste while also being more energy-efficient than incineration.
