Regulations You Need to Know
Louisiana Medical WasteRegulations You Need to Know
Regulated “Medical Waste“
Regulated “Medical Waste“
Medical waste is outlined in Louisiana Administrative Code (§301) as the following: “that portion of potentially infectious biomedical waste that is generated from the operation of medical programs, offices and facilities”
If your facility only produces “sharps”, you can rest assured that’s the majority of medical waste for facilities (~80% of our Louisiana clients also only produce “sharps” as their medical waste.)
Facilities of Regulated Medical Waste
Facilities of Regulated Medical Waste
The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals has established regulations governing the handling of regulated medical waste, as outlined in the Louisiana Sanitary Code, Chapter XXVII. These regulations encompass various aspects of medical waste management, including packaging, labeling, storage, transportation, and treatment:
“Packaging and Labeling: Potentially infectious biomedical waste must be packaged to prevent exposure, with liquids in sturdy, leak-resistant containers and sharps in closed, rigid, break-resistant, puncture-resistant containers. All containers must be clearly labeled as “Potentially Infectious Biomedical Waste,” “Medical Waste,” or “Infectious Waste” and should be water-resistant. Labels must include specific information for untreated and treated waste.
Storage and Transport: This waste must be stored securely, with compactors not being used for storage. Transport of wastes, except for small quantities, requires transporters permitted by the State Health Officer. There are specific provisions for transporter permits, contracts, and operational plans, including worker safety and decontamination.
Treatment and Disposal: Healthcare facilities can store and treat their own potentially infectious biomedical wastes if they have the appropriate permit. Acceptable treatment methods include incineration, steam sterilization, disposal into a sanitary sewer system, thermal inactivation, chemical disinfection, and irradiation with approval. Sharps must be treated in a way that renders them unrecognizable and safe. Treated waste can be disposed of in a permitted sanitary landfill, following the Solid Waste Regulations of the Department of Environmental Quality“

The risks of improper medical waste disposal are clear.
The State of Louisiana defers proper disposal of regulated waste to “private companies available to dispose of medical wastes”.
BioMedical Waste Solutions is one of the very few private Louisiana medical waste disposal companies that are registered and permitted by Louisiana state to handle, transport, store, destroy, and dispose of medical waste and provide Louisiana medical waste disposal services.

Louisiana Sharps Disposal Solutions
It may interest you to know that we provide Louisiana sharps disposal. We will pick up your sharps containers of almost any size (2 gallons all the way up to 40 gallons.) Simply add your sharps containers to the box we provide you and we will pick it up on your next scheduled pick-up.
What Belongs in a Sharps Container?
The Louisiana Administrative Code (§1101) has outlined “sharps” as the following: “needles, syringes, scalpels, scalpel blades, pipettes and other medical instruments capable of puncturing or lacerating skin. This definition also includes glass fragments and other health care and laboratory waste capable of puncturing or lacerating skin.”
All the above constitutes a “sharp” and belongs in a puncture-resistant and securely closed sharps container.

FAQs

When you’re seeking “medical waste disposal near me” we understand that cost is probably your first priority. We offer low-cost medical waste disposal that will save you up to 83.6% versus other companies because we have no hidden fees and a guarantee that we will refrain from raising your price.
We wish we could list prices online, however the prices vary based on your location in Louisiana, your frequency of pick-up (monthly, quarterly, etc.), and the amount of waste (volume) you give us to dispose of.
Do you pick-up in my area?
If you’re in the greater Louisiana area, we’ll absolutely pick-up your regulated medical waste because we service all healthcare in Louisiana and beyond!
If your facility is outside of the greater Louisiana area, there’s a good chance we’ll pick-up your waste, but just in case you are in a rural area, please give us a call at 1 (713) 357-6299 now, and within 10 seconds, we will let you know if we have trucks coming to your area.

Are there any additional fees?
Unfortunately in our industry, many companies’ quotes look low-cost, but unscrupulously, they have sneaked in hidden fees and/or have hidden ways to administer “price increases” (“PIs”) in their contracts for as much as 18% twice per year! (That would double your cost every ~4 years!)
We run an honest, fair, and ethical business, so we have no hidden fees and we guarantee we will refrain from raising our price. Period.
