Medical facilities should ensure they are following all laws and guidelines set by the local, regional and federal governing bodies regarding medical waste disposal. This includes properly labeling any medical waste as well as ensuring containers are secure and lockable. Additionally, make sure to use a certified medical waste hauler who is properly trained on safely disposing of such materials. Proper precautions should always be taken when handling or transporting potentially infectious materials. It is also important to make sure all equipment used in the cleanup process is disinfected after each use to protect both workers and people living in the area from any potential diseases that may be present.

The best way to dispose of medical waste is to utilize a properly functioning autoclave machine. Autoclaves involve high-pressure steam that destroys any dangerous microorganisms found in the medical waste and renders it safe for disposal in an appropriate sanitary landfill. Always make sure your equipment is inspected and properly maintained on a regular basis by a certified specialist in order to ensure that proper sterilization occurs each time medical waste is processed.
