Questions and Answers
1. How will quotations be submitted.
Answer: Electronically by email
2. What is the approximate number of boxes to be picked-up/month.
Answer: Fifteen
3. Is there only one pick-up locaton?
Answer: Yes
4. Are you using the standard medical waste disposal containers or are you using larger containers?
Answer: We use 28-gallon plastic tubs and cardboard boxes.
5. Is there a list of Medical Waste that is to be collected or any historical data on what has been collected in the past?
Answer:
-Animal waste from animals intentionally exposed to pathogens
-Bulk animal or human blood and blood products
-Microbiological/pathological waste
-Sharps
6. Please provide an estimate of the percentage of waste that is pathological (and therefore must be incinerated) and the amount of waste normal regulated medical waste.
Answer: Probably about ~20 %. That’s a high estimate. Most waste will be sharps.
Well, we don’t keep track of what goes in what box/tub. Sharps may be mixed with waste. There are 4 different departments that use biomedical waste containers and it’s a little hard to keep track of what type of biohazardous waste goes into what container.
Oh goodness, that’s a tough question. We don’t monitor the contents. Everyone is trained on what goes into biohazard but like I stated we don’t monitor the contents. We fit what we can and not exceed 40 lbs. We will mix sharps and biohazard but in most cases blood/fluids will go into one box/tub.
7. Please confirm if it is practically possible to segregate the pathological and animal waste?
Answer: It is not possible to separate the waste.
