Facilities that are large enough can save money and reduce regulatory scrutiny by processing regulated medical waste and confidential documents onsite. We work with a vendor that provides state of the art equipment to allow facilities to eliminate the need to send these two costly waste streams offsite for disposal. While the equipment required to do this requires significant capital, the benefits are significant and the cost savings provides the facility to get a return on the capital in approximately 5 years while the equipment has a life expectancy of 15 years.

By processing these two waste streams onsite, the regulated medical waste is transformed into solid waste and the confidential documents are transformed into paper for recycling generating revenue. From an environmental stand point, this process also results in reduced truck traffic and improvement of the facilities carbon footprint.
