Medical Waste Management Consulting

Every healthcare facility should separate waste properly to promote the health and well-being of their patients, staff, community, and environment.

 

We can help by building programs that empower your team to improve waste separation, safety, costs, and sustainability.

The challenge

Medical Waste Regulations & Costs

Regulated medical waste (RMW) is one of the most expensive types of trash, and medical waste disposal is heavily regulated. Those biohazard red bags can be budget busters…costing up to 17 times more than general trash or recycling.

 

Aside from cost, staff must be well trained to separate and handle regulated medical waste safely and efficiently. Everyone plays a role in waste management and must be represented when designing red bag reduction programs that reduce costs and meet industry-recognized benchmarks.

The solution

Custom Waste Plan and Education

Reduction In Motion has been ‘talking trash’ with hospitals for 20 years. We have extensive field experience in designing and facilitating waste management programs driven by custom education and best practices that empower everyone to do their part.

 

We’ll follow a systematic process that starts with a comprehensive audit of your operation resulting in a waste management plan.  We can help you turn that plan into a waste management system by providing the right on-site support.

 

Our medical waste management services include data analysis, best practice implementation, staff training, hauler management, facility-wide monitoring, and anything else necessary to ensure you reach your waste reduction, diversion, and recycling goals.

 

If your healthcare facility wants to take control of their waste, let's start with an audit to see how you compare to industry best practices and metrics.
