Medical Waste Disposal for retail clinics.
Retail clinic medical waste disposal has to keep pace with high patient throughput — vaccination and injection sharps, rapid-test waste, and expired medications — often across many locations. We size a mail-back or pickup program to each site, with patient take-back and a Certificate of Destruction on every order.
