Services
Sharps container disposal is a tricky business that can be very dangerous if not handled well. At San Diego Medical Waste, we're glad to help you with your sharps disposal needs! We have a wide variety of sharps containers in various sizes. All of these containers are designed to help you dispose of sharps in a safe, efficient manner.
On or before your scheduled service, remove sharps containers from patient rooms and place the entire sharps container in an upright position inside of the regulated medical waste (RMW) container ensuring that no needles spill out. On your scheduled service day, we will perform a one for one exchange of your onsite regulated medical waste (RMW) and deliver any pre ordered products (sharps containers, biohazard bags, etc).
Not all pharmaceutical waste is created equal. Hazardous (RCRA), non-hazardous, trace chemotherapy and controlled substances - it all has to be handled separately and properly according to its classification. It's also subject to the rules of a number of regulatory agencies. Some (but not all) pharmaceutical waste must be treated as hazardous waste and handled accordingly.
Are you aware that OSHA may fine you up to $7,000 for each non-compliant item on their checklist? Are you current on your MSDS's, Safety Training, and Safety Plans? Have you conducted your own workplace OSHA audit? San Diego Medical Waste Services helps manage your compliance needs with our one-stop online compliance solution.
San Diego Medical Waste has developed a "best practices" medical waste disposal process to help insure the safety of our team and yours. The following 5 steps will provide a seamless disposal process and minimize exposure to employees. Place sharps containers inside of wall mounts or on countertops and line biohazard waste containers with biohazard bags.

We've been using SD Medical Waste services for a few months now. Sam has been wonderful to communicate with; being generous with information and his time. Responses to inquires are quick. Flexibility in the pickups and the ability to see the scheduled dates via the client portal is very helpful.

I am a building manager and had a tenant leave a medical waste receptacle behind. Instead of reaching out to their long-term client to collect payment, they wanted to bill me for the pickup. I'm not sure what the pickup costs, but this seems really petty to try and charge me instead of contacting their client. It begs the question --- is this company insolvent? Are their resources so depleted they cannot take care of a last pickup for a client and instead need to try and back the property manager into a corner for payment? Wow. Be careful if you're dealing with these people!

A tenant left a medical waste receptacle behind along with an unpaid account at SDMWS at a building I manage. I contacted Sam and we arranged a complimentary pick up of the medical contents. Sam was very understanding, empathetic, generous, and offered quality & timely service. Thanks Sam!

I found San Diego Medical Waste online and filled out a quick form. Sam called me personally the next day to provide more information, and was extremely accommodating (even when I forgot to call him back). Set-up was easy, and Sam went above and beyond to ensure we received our disposal bin. We were provided with a calendar of pick-up dates for the year, and Sam has been quick to respond to any questions we have. If you’re looking for tattoo shop sharps container removal, SD Med Waste is the perfect service for you!

Best medical waste service I could have asked for! I was very lucky to find them a few months back while searching for a new company to work with. Sam (CEO) is very attentive, flexible, and is always available to help his customers; employees are also very attentive and friendly.
The bins and bags they provide are of great quality, they even save you the trouble of printing labels by providing you with them. They also work paperless, which is less paperwork to store and great for the environment.
I would 110% recommend San Diego Medical Waste Services, LLC!

I can't say enough amazing things about Sam and his company. I've been with them for 5 years now and their dedication to excellent customer service never ceases to amaze me. I am an acupuncturist and highly recommend them. Sam, thank you for your support of small businesses like mine, and most of all, for the kindness you always show me.

We started a small business recently and was lucky enough to come across this great company. It's been a pleasure to work with them. They made the whole process easy and affordable which was what we were looking for. They are knowledgeable, professional, transparent and extremely easy to work with. They are local company and they will save you $$ more than any other company. Sam, the CEO is always available to talk to. I highly recommend this company. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about them.
