My medical practice generates a lot of medical waste, but following the health protocols for disposing of it is too costly. How can I safely dispose of medical waste without following health protocols?

The most cost-effective way to dispose of medical waste is to find alternatives to standard health protocols. Some medical waste can be composted, incinerated, or autoclaved depending on the contents and quantity. Sharps must be placed in puncture resistant containers and wrapped in a second layer of disposable material before putting them in an approved sharps container. Used syringes should be placed inside of a hardened glass vial before putting them into the sharps container. Non-sharp items such as tissue samples or plastic containers can simply be put into bags and tied closed before being thrown away alongside other garbage.

You can use a medical waste disposal service that is equipped to handle biohazardous material safely. Some companies will even provide containers, labels, and transportation of the waste for you. Doing this should ensure that you are able to get rid of your medical waste safely while adhering to applicable regulations.
