Medical waste collection presents unique challenges to healthcare facilities throughout Australia and the world. Because of the harmful pathogens, germs, and microorganisms present in hazardous medical waste, it can be a source of infection. If medical waste containing mercury, toxic chemicals, or dioxins is burned, the situation could be hazardous to the general public.

If medical waste is not properly disposed of, it can contaminate groundwater in the landfill and release hazardous chemicals into the environment. Heavy metal incineration can result in the release of toxic metals into the environment. Medical waste collection and sharps container collection can only be done by a specialised waste management company, as not only will improper disposal result in problems such as infection and possible regulatory penalties, but different types of medical waste require different collection, treatment, and disposal methods.

Solo Resource Recovery is a professional waste management company that collects specialised medical waste and sharps containers for the treatment of hazardous medical waste. To ensure that your medical waste is collected in a professional and compliant manner, the company uses specialised vehicles and containers for medical waste collection and sharps container collection. Solo waste management company has a trained crew to collect, transport, treat, and dispose of medical waste collected from healthcare facilities in a safe manner.

Specialised medical waste and sharps container bins

Solo waste management company provides standard 240 liter wheelie bins for medical waste and sharps container collection. Specially designed bags in sizes ranging from 1.5 L to 10 L, and 22 L to 60 L and 120 L, are available for collecting various pathological waste types such as needles and syringes, soiled and blood-soaked bandages, culture dishes, discarded surgical instruments, gloves, swabs, pharmaceuticals, and more. Solo Resource Recovery disposes of medical waste in a safe and environmentally responsible manner, which is critical for reducing the risk of injury, the spread of infection, chemical toxicity, and pollution.

Innovative biomedical waste techniques

The company employs a variety of biomedical waste disposal techniques, including autoclaving, which uses a very hot stream to completely destroy microorganisms. This is a better option than incineration, which can be costly. Microwaving is another technique for biomedical waste disposal in which medical waste is shredded, mixed with water, and then internally heated to kill pathogens and microorganisms. Microwaving has the advantage of significantly reducing the volume of biomedical waste while also being more energy-efficient than incineration.

Specialised waste recycling techniques

As a reputable Australian waste management company, Solo Waste Management has over 85 years of experience. The company can provide you with a mixed recyclable bin, into which businesses can deposit their various recyclable waste types such as paper, cardboard, plastic, steel, glass, and aluminium cans. The company will collect mixed recyclable waste, sort it at its recyclable facility, and then recycle it using specialised processes. Recycled waste can be reintroduced into the supply chain and used as raw material in the manufacture of new products. Commercial and industrial (C&I) waste contains a variety of elements that can be recycled into sealable products, such as plastic, cardboard, and film. Because of their economic value, metals are generally well recovered for commercial and industrial waste.

Helping you prevent penalties

Food scraps and garden waste, for example, can be recycled into compost and eco-friendly garden products. Timber framing from a house, concrete rubble, metal roofing, bricks, glass, and roof cladding are all examples of construction waste and rubble that can be recycled and reused. Paper and cardboard are easily recyclable and reusable. Solo Resource Recovery's waste recycling solutions not only help to strengthen Australia's circular economy, but they also allow for the creation of new secondary resources, which offset the need for new raw material extraction, as well as the creation of job opportunities. The company's waste recycling solutions will help you stay compliant by performing waste collection and recycling operations in a compliant manner, thereby avoiding potential regulatory penalties. Solo Resource Recovery will ensure that less strain is placed on the earth's resources by finding ways to reuse and recycle waste by recycling your commercial, industrial, and household waste.
