The MedAssure process for medical waste disposal uses an automatic lift/load system, eliminating double and triple waste handling and thereby reducing risk to operators. Process and engineering controls built in throughout the system virtually eliminate occupational exposures such as spills, lifting, and needle stick injuries commonly associated with medical waste handling. Waste can be collected and stored at the point of generation, transported, and treated using a one-container system. No special (e.g. autoclavable) bags or boxes are required.

This is often a sensitive waste disposal FAQ. MedAssure is committed to being a good neighbor. The decisions on the location of our facility and the choice of technology were made with our neighborhood in mind. Our facility for medical waste removal is in an area that is zoned for commercial/industrial use, so there are no residential neighbors nearby. The facility is also designed to provide easy access for the trucks that deliver medical waste, ensuring that the traffic flow remains constant and fluid. The actual processing of medical waste is done in a closed unit which is located inside a building. MedAssure’s technology does not create noise, odors or emissions and minimizes any exposure to the neighbors.

Another benefit to the community, as well as the state and region, is the availability – for the first time – of medical waste management to allow for safe, local disposal of regulated medical waste. This advantage will lower costs to the many health care providers in the region who now ship their waste great distances to be processed and disposed of.
