Medical Waste Services for Skilled Nursing Facilities
SNFs generate biohazardous waste, sharps waste, non-hazardous pharmaceutical waste, and occasionally RCRA waste — typically insulin, inhalers, and warfarin. The amount of medical waste generated by SNFs varies greatly from facility to facility.
Eco Medical partners with skilled nursing and long-term care facilities nationwide to ensure proper disposal of all regulated medical waste — so your facility gets the best possible price and stays survey-ready. We typically service SNFs 2x weekly, weekly, every other week, or monthly. Some need weekly service for several biohazard bins; others only need monthly service for a single bio bin.
