Case study: San Jose skilled nursing facility (South Bay route)
A San Jose skilled nursing facility administrator agreed to get an apples-to-apples quote from our account executives. They were generating about two 48-gallon biohazard bins weekly and a significant amount of pharmaceutical waste, around 40 lbs+ of pharmaceutical waste monthly.
An out-of-state vendor was charging them $1,847 per month. We discovered the previous vendor had added fuel surcharges and OSHA fees alongside other price increases, raising their bill by over $800/month. We matched their current medical waste disposal service details exactly and their average bill with us from June 2024 to September 2026 has been $596, a 67.7% savings.
Bay Area generators typically save with Eco Medical. This client (a single facility) has saved $33,777 over 27 months for an identical service.
