Waste Management Services
There are five basic items of waste in the dental office; fixer, developer, medically contaminated waste/sharps, amalgam contaminated/hazardous waste and lead foil.
There is a sixth item, which, via good management practices, can be eliminated; cold sterilizer solutions containing aldehydes and phenols.
As health care professionals, we are responsible for all waste created; from cradle to grave. We can be held responsible for any damages, clean-up costs and worse; violations and penalties – always use a licensed and insured Waste Management Company!
For a detailed list of waste management guidelines and the names of licensed carters who will pick up all items (without contracts or monthly costs) please contact Health Compliance Team.
