Medical Waste Management & Destruction

Jump to navigation

Clean Harbors Medical Waste Management and Destruction Services provide destruction via incineration of medical related waste including biohazards, pathogens and chemotherapeutic wastes for hospitals, pharmaceutical, biotechnology companies and research & development institutions.  Destruction by incineration ensures the greatest liability protection, and is the safest, most secure and most reliable method for disposing of biohazardous medical waste.

Environmentally Sound Destruction Technology

We understand the need to deliver an environmentally sound alternative to medical waste disposal.  Clean Harbors owns and operates world-class incineration facilities that exceed the highest environmental standards.  We provide generators of medical and biohazardous waste total destruction of all biohazardous and potentially infectious waste safely and effectively.

Safe and Secure, “One-Time Use” Container Management

We only use new airtight containers that will not expose your employees or patients to potentially unsafe reused containers.  All containers are packaged and sealed at your facility and the entire container is destroyed at our incineration facilities.  This eliminates the need for you to store and handle containers that have been used by other medical waste generators and rinsed for reuse.

Sound Liability Management and Protection

Clean Harbors’ exclusive handling, transportation, destruction and tracking of medical waste satisfies the demand for sound liability management and protection.  Total destruction of waste products through incineration is the only way to guarantee that no residuals will find their way back into the environment.

Vendor Consolidation to Reduce Cost

For many companies focused on efficient procurement practices, Clean Harbors provides the unique opportunity to reduce your vendors by consolidating hazardous and medical waste disposal under one vendor, thereby reducing the cost of managing multiple vendors.
