Golden Regulated Medical Waste Disposal Services

Medical Waste Pros in Golden has a network of companies in Colorado that specialize in the transport and removal of regulated waste for medical practices, clinics, hospitals, and more.  Regulated medical waste needs to be handled differently than any other type of medical waste, so it is important to know what items to look for when disposing of this type of waste. 

Regulated medical waste can be divided into six main categories: 

Pathological Waste 

This is human anatomical wastes, organs, tissues, or body parts. 

Contaminated Sharps 

Sharps are any item that can easily penetrate the skin, waste bags, or cardboard boxes and induce subdermal inoculation of infectious agents. These items must have been used in medical, research, or industrial laboratories on animals or humans to qualify as regulated medical waste. 

Let’s clarify that. The box knife blade a shipping clerk disposes of when it is dull is not regulated medical waste, but it is still considered a sharp and requires sharp disposal. If there is ever a doubt about whether a sharp is regulated or not, err on the side of discretion and assume it is. 

Cultures and Stocks of Infectious Agents 

Also known as microbiological waste, it is typically generated from clinical or research laboratory procedures involving communicable infectious diseases. 

Isolation Waste 

Waste that has potentially been contaminated with a highly communicable disease. Typically, it’s created by hospitalized patients or animals that have been isolated to protect others because their disease is highly contagious. 

Contaminated Animal Carcasses, Body Parts, and Bedding 

Waste from in vitro pharmaceutical testing, animals intentionally exposed to pathogens in research, or biological production. 

Human Blood and Blood Products 

These are any blood products or components, including serum and plasma or bodily fluids visually contaminated with blood. This includes fluids where it might be difficult to differentiate between bodily fluids and blood.
