Sharps, red bag waste, expired pharmaceuticals and reagents, formalin, dental amalgam and trauma scene remediation for clinics, hospitals, dental offices and laboratories, with chain of custody for every load.
Industry
One vendor for medical waste and the hazardous waste beside it
Healthcare facilities and laboratories generate two regulated streams at once. Sharps and medical waste fall under California's Medical Waste Management Act, while expired RCRA-listed pharmaceuticals, formalin, glutaraldehyde and OPA sterilants, x-ray fixer, lead foil and mercury devices can be hazardous waste under the Hazardous Waste Management Act. HCI Environmental collects both from hospitals, clinics, dental and veterinary offices and research labs across Southern California and moves them under its own EPA identification and California hazardous materials transportation license.
A facility that generates more than 100 kilograms of federally regulated hazardous waste a month needs an EPA ID number, a registered hazardous waste transporter and a manifest. HCI helps confirm the classification, supplies approved sharps and biohazard containers, prepares the manifest or shipping papers and returns chain of custody records covering collection, transport, treatment and disposal. Trauma scene and biohazard incidents go to a live operator 24/7/365.
- Approved sharps and biohazard containers on a set schedule or one-time cleanout
