About Us Services Products Contact Us Client Login Medical Waste Management Since 1996, Approved has been the Northeast’s independent leader in medical waste and sharps management. We specialize not only in compliant management and transportation of regulated medical waste, but also in the final treatment and disposal of various waste products. With ASWH Healthcare Waste Management Services, there are no third-party transporters. Your waste leaves your facility on an Approved company truck and is shipped directly to one of our state-of-the-art treatment facilities located throughout the Northeast. Services are rendered on an “on-demand” or automatic basis and we charge only upfront unit rates. We have no fixed reoccurring charges, no automatic rate increases, and additional fuel or insurance surcharges. Our waste platform is comprehensive so we can manage all your regulated medical waste in the most environmentally responsible manner, including Chemotherapeutic and Pathological waste, at competitive rates. Request a Quote Biohazardous Waste Biohazardous waste, also called Infectious waste or Biomedical waste is generated at wide range of health care facilities. Hospitals, private physicians’, dental practices, blood & organ banks, veterinary clinics, as well as medical research facilities and laboratories. The 1988 Medical Waste Tracking Act defines it as waste generated during medical research, testing, diagnosis, immunization, or treatment of either human beings or animals. Some examples: Blood soaked materials/bandages Materials contaminated with OPIM (semen, vaginal secretions, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, pleural fluid, pericardial fluid, peritoneal fluid, amniotic fluid, saliva in dental procedures Sharps, needles, scalpels, scissors Tubing or lines containing blood or other OPIM Culture dishes, glassware, contaminated gloves Chemotherapeutic Waste Chemotherapeutic Waste is regulated medical waste generated during the administration of chemotherapeutic drugs and cytotoxic agents. “Chemo” waste, as it has come to be known, is managed and treated separately from standard regulated medical waste. Chemo waste is required by law to be treated by means of incineration. At Approved, we ship all Chemotherapeutic waste directly to our affiliate incineration facility. Pathological Waste Pathological Waste is regulated medical waste, so it may contain blood or bodily fluid, but it also contains tissue or tissue samples that were previously under medical examination. This waste type also must be treated by means of incineration. At Approved, we ship all Pathological waste directly to our affiliate incineration facility.
