Questions and Answers

Q1. Correction to question 7 of Addendum 1.

In the 'Specifications' document, under "4.0 Biomedical Waste Services", it references different types of waste that would require treatment via incineration such as animal tissue, pathological waste and pharmaceutical waste/medications. Which of these sites will be disposing of these types of waste? If this waste is generated, do the sites segregate and package the waste into separate containers from the rest of their biomedical waste or is all biomedical waste comingled and packaged into the same container for service? If packaged separately, can you provide additional information as to the total number of containers of this type of waste the sites are disposing of per pickup or per year?

A1. Waste should be segregated and not commingled. Biological waste may come from fire stations responding to accidents, sick or injured, animal waste is generally handled by animal control. Food waste from Meacham is picked up as required by USDA regulations, the amount picked up varies week to week and are in tubs and varies from 1 to 4 tubs in a week as an estimate. Pharmaceutical waste will primarily be picked up from FWFD – EMS Central Operations location, and occasionally, from the Bob Bolen Fire Administration or a different fire station. We have large, approximately 18 gallons, white with blue lid pharmaceutical waste containers kept at Bob Bolen Admin for fire stations to take citizen turned in medication to. These large containers are generally picked up once a year.
