Medical Waste Disposal Minneapolis, MN

Minneapolis, or “City by Nature” as it is known by many locals, is the second largest economic hub of the Midwest, behind Chicago. Keeping the nature surrounding Minneapolis in pristine condition is of utmost importance, which is why MedPro Disposal is such an important company to work with.

With a population of over 410,000 residents, keeping them all healthy is the primary goal of the local hospitals. Abbott Northwestern Hospital, Children’s Hospital of Minnesota, and the University of Minnesota Medical Center all provide exceptional healthcare to the Minneapolis community. These are large hospitals, and with large facilities comes lots of waste, medical waste to be exact. Many may not be aware, but the waste generated by treating patients at hospitals and healthcare facilities may not be disposed of with regular garbage. This is because if an individual were to come in contact with biohazardous waste, such as soaked gauze bandages or sharps, it could lead to the transmission of extremely harmful and even deadly diseases. MedPro Disposal is committed to protecting the residents of Minneapolis from ever having to worry about this situation, by being the premier solution to medical waste disposal.

Medical waste can be classified as contaminated gloves, sharps, soaked gauze bandages, IV bags, and much more. All of these materials need to be disposed of properly and immediately after use, in order to prevent the spread of pathogens. Failure to do so can lead to infections and contamination of sterile environments, which, according to the CDC, resulted in 17 million cases of infection in hospitals during 2011.

It is important to note that segregating medical waste from standard office waste is a crucial step in the disposal process. Placing medical waste into a standard waste bucket will deem that container biohazardous, which is illegal to dispose of in a standard landfill. An example of this is used sharps. Sharps must be placed in a puncture-proof container that is then placed into our larger medical waste box. If sharps were to be disposed of in the standard waste stream, it’s possible that someone could accidently get stuck by one of those needles, opening the door for blood-borne pathogen transmission and the likes.
