Healthcare Hazardous Waste Service
A hazardous waste disposal program provided by leaders of compliant and sustainable solutions.
Healthcare Hazardous Waste Disposal Program
Stericycle is a leading provider of hazardous waste services to healthcare facilities throughout the United States. We specialize in healthcare to help hospitals and healthcare systems who are unique generators of wastes due to the number of departments, large staff, and the nature of services they provide. In addition to the prevalent and well-known waste streams, other wastes generated in smaller quantities also require proper attention, such as flammable liquids, xylene, formalin, aerosols, and universal waste.
Our capabilities include:
- Full Hazardous Waste Management Program
- Waste Characterization and Profiling
- RCRA Policies, Procedures and Organizational Support
- Reporting, Licensing and Other Notifications
- Support with Notice of Violations (NOVs)

Our team will help identify your waste streams, ensure they are properly segregated, educate your staff on proper on-site management, and ultimately coordinate transportation and disposal of your materials in the most environmentally friendly method while meeting all local, state and federal guidelines.
