MedPro Disposal specializes in the medical waste removal process for the city of Decatur. One benefit we offer to the healthcare facilities in Decatur is our ability to create a customized plan to accommodate your medical waste needs. There are only two pieces of information needed in order to start the process. The two pieces include: how much medical waste is being produced and how often the waste is picked up. Once those two pieces of information are obtained our team can start to create a tailored plan for your facility. The process is fairly easy, once the frequency and volume is determined your facility will be assigned a specific pick up schedule. Your practice will be provided with red-lined cardboard boxes that accumulate the medical waste. On your scheduled pick up date the boxes will be picked up and you will be provided with new boxes to restart the process. Here at MedPro Disposal we understand changes happen frequently. Therefore, if your medical waste accumulation changes we are more than welcome to accommodate your requests.
