Medical Waste Disposal Evansville, IN

St. Mary’s Hospital and Evansville State Hospital are the anchor medical facilities for this city of 170,000 in the city limits, and 350,000 people in the metropolitan area. There is a campus of Indiana University’s Medical School planned for Evansville to open by 2020.

Almost all medical facilities produce medical waste, also called biomedical waste and-or biohazardous waste.

In Indiana it is defined by the broader term: Hazardous waste.

According to federal and Indiana statutes the term “hazardous waste” means a solid waste, or combination of solid waste that, because of its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical or infectious characteristics may:

Cause or significantly contribute to an increase in mortality or an increase in serious irreversible, or incapacitating reversible, illness; or pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, or disposed of, or otherwise managed.

Hazardous wastes come in many forms. They can be liquid, solids, semisolid, or contained gases. They can be manufacturing process byproducts, sludge or spent materials or simply discarded products. Whatever their form, proper management is essential to protect human health and the environment.

In Indiana, medical waste is regulated by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and information about rules and regulations, definitions and descriptions can be found at this website.

Low prices: MedPro uses streamlined collection and transportation operations to save on labor, time, and fuel. We pass those savings on to our customers in Indiana because building long-term relationships is our goal. Whenever possible MedPro groups collections in the same area for the same day, and we only schedule pick-ups based on our customer’s needs.

Reliable service: There is never an excuse for being late or missing a pick-up. Fortunately because of our resources we are able to shift resources when there is a bump in the road and cover our commitments. We rarely have to do it, but when necessary we always make good on a mistake in the form of credits on our customer’s invoice.

Speaking of invoices, our customers like simplified billing. Every MedPro customer is fitted with a customized service plan that includes one-flat-fee. That’s what they see on their invoices, with no hidden charges.

Training is a huge concern for our customers. MedPro personnel are trained and re-trained on the critical measures necessary for everyone’s safety and we share that knowledge with our partners.
