Common Questions About Medical Waste Pickup in New Orleans Station
What are bloodborne pathogens?
They are germs that spread through blood and some other body fluids. Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV are examples. Workers who may come into contact with them are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030.
Do you remove waste left behind after a death?
A cleanup team can remove medical waste left after a death, such as needles, soaked supplies or contaminated linens. If the death involved a crime or an investigation, work starts only after authorities release the property. Ask about discreet arrival when you call.
Do I have to sort the waste before the team comes?
No. Leave it as it is and keep people and pets away. Sorting by hand is how many sticks and splashes happen. The cleanup team sorts and packs everything with protective gear and the right containers.
How do you dispose of biohazard waste?
Biohazard waste is sorted, sealed in labeled puncture-resistant containers or bags, hauled to a facility that treats regulated medical waste, and then disposed of. Biohazard disposal companies pack it so nothing leaks, and it never goes in the regular trash. A cleanup team can explain each step of the route.
Is a sharps container the same as a biohazard bin?
Not exactly. A sharps container is a rigid, puncture-resistant box made for needles and similar items. A biohazard bin or bag holds other contaminated waste, such as soaked dressings. A cleanup team uses both and seals them for transport.
What about old medicine?
Medicine is usually kept apart from medical waste. A pharmacy, a take-back program or the local health department can say what applies where you live. A cleanup team can tell you whether it takes medicine or only sharps and clinical waste.
