Medical Waste Disposal Services in Tampa
Regulated Medical Waste (Red Bag) Pickup
From exam-room red bags to full biohazard boxes, we pick up regulated medical waste on a recurring or on-call basis and make sure it is treated at a permitted facility. You never run out of the containers you need.
Sharps Disposal
Sharps are the most common source of staff injuries. We provide sealed, labeled sharps containers and remove full ones at every visit.

Pharmaceutical waste needs its own disposal stream. We set you up with the right containers for non-hazardous and RCRA hazardous medications and remove them safely.

Florida Biomedical Waste Rules for Tampa Facilities
Every Tampa facility that generates biomedical waste answers to Florida’s Chapter 64E-16 rules and to inspections by the Florida Department of Health in Hillsborough County. The essentials: a generator permit (low-volume offices under 25 pounds per 30 days may qualify for an exemption), a written biomedical waste operating plan, annual staff training, properly labeled red bags and sharps containers, and a 30-day maximum storage time. Waste must leave your site with a DOH-registered transporter, and each of our pickups is documented, so you have records ready for inspections.

Tampa Medical Waste FAQ
Do you also serve St. Petersburg and Clearwater?

What happens if waste is stored longer than 30 days?
Storing biomedical waste beyond 30 days is a violation that can show up on a DOH inspection. We set your pickup frequency so containers are removed before that limit.
