What is Medical Waste?
PIMW – Potentially Infectious Medical Waste
RMW – Regulated Medical Waste
Red Bag Waste
Medical Waste encompasses various types of waste generated during the diagnosis, treatment, or immunization of humans or animals, as well as research related to medical services and the testing of biologicals. The classification and handling of medical waste are crucial due to its potential risk to health and safety.
All medical waste must undergo treatment to eliminate its infectious potential. Sharps (such as needles and blades) must be rendered unrecognizable or safely packaged before disposal. Transportation of medical waste can only be performed by licensed medical waste haulers like AMS, ensuring that the waste reaches a permitted transfer, storage, or treatment facility.
