Red bags, sharps, pharm waste, hazardous chemicals, controlled substances many facilities mix these up without realizing the compliance risk. A few small corrections can completely transform your safety, workflow, and cost, so if you’re unsure about any waste stream, feel free to ask.

‼️ FACT: Nearly 30% of regulated medical waste is disposed of incorrectly across healthcare facilities nationwide creating major compliance and safety risks.

This happens not from negligence, but from confusing regulations, unclear waste-stream rules, and inconsistent training across facilities.

The most common medical waste compliance mistakes:
• Sharps not transported in a DOT-compliant RMW container
• Pharmaceutical waste mixed with trace chemo
• Pathological waste sent for autoclave instead of required incineration
• RCRA hazardous waste mislabeled or stored past generator limits
• Missing or incomplete manifests during audits and inspections

These issues lead to:
⚠️ Compliance violations
⚠️ OSHA & EPA penalties
⚠️ Risk to staff, patients, and animals
⚠️ Higher disposal costs and operational delays

At MET (Medical Environmental Technologies), we help healthcare facilities stay safe, compliant, and audit-ready with:
✔️ Regulated medical waste disposal
✔️ Sharps management & container supply
✔️ Pharmaceutical & trace chemo disposal
✔️ RCRA hazardous waste services
✔️ Secure documentation & manifest tracking
✔️ Education and support for your full team

If your organization needs a medical waste compliance review, updated waste-stream guidance, or more reliable service, We’re here to help!

Thanksgiving is the one time of year when everyone suddenly becomes an expert in two things:
Cooking a turkey
Arguing with relatives
But you know what no one wants to deal with during the holidays?
Medical waste headaches.
At MET, we can’t help you avoid your in-laws’ conspiracy theories or keep your uncle from deep-frying a turkey indoors…
But we can make sure your biohazard, sharps, pharm, and hazardous waste programs run smoother than your grandma’s gravy.
If your current provider keeps “forgetting” pickups or sending surprise fees, let us take something off your plate this year besides stuffing.
Reach out anytime. We’ll keep the waste under control so you can focus on the real threat: dry turkey.
