Med-X offers a compliant, secure and segregated waste solution due to the bio-hazardous nature of this waste stream.
Cytotoxic waste is made up of restricted drugs and intravenous solutions intended primarily for the treatment of cancer. Due to its high toxicity to cells and exceptionally hazardous nature, this waste stream requires careful handling and containment.
Med-X complies with legislative requirements for collecting cytotoxic waste in Australian Standards approved, specifically coloured and labelled containers.
All waste is transported via our specialist hazardous waste fleet to a licensed treatment facility where the cytotoxic waste is safely destroyed in line with Australian legislative requirements.
Pharmaceutical waste includes drugs, remedies or medicine that have expired or are no longer required to treat a patient, and equipment and substances rejected by the manufacturer due to quality control concerns.
Med-X’s pharmaceutical waste collection is undertaken with every possible safety precaution and regulated waste requirement. Waste is collected in lockable, Australian Standard containers with an orange lid classifying bio-hazardous waste.
All pharmaceutical Waste is transported via our specialist hazardous waste fleet to be incinerated at a regulated thermal waste processing facility. It is then safely destroyed by high-temperature incineration in line with Australian legislative safety requirements.
Pharmaceutical waste can contain chemical properties that are harmful to people, animals and the environment and cannot be included in general waste streams. Upon exposure the chemical contents can cause intoxication and corrosive chemicals can also incur burns or injuries.
After determining your volume and frequency requirements, Med-X will establish a service schedule customised to your specific needs. Our wide range of clinical waste containers, cater to both small and large medical waste volumes, keeping your workspace safe and hygienic.
Related wastes such as cytotoxic waste, pharmaceutical, anatomical, and chemical waste types have their own regulations in Australia and must be segregated and disposed of via incineration. Med-X has a variety of clinical waste solutions designed to optimise waste segregation and infection control.
Anatomical waste comprises any identifiable body part including pathological specimens, biopsy specimens and tissue taken during surgery or autopsy. As a subtype of pathological waste, anatomical waste is considered potentially infectious to prevent any risks to humans and the environment. This waste stream is handled by our team with added consideration and security due to its sensitive nature.
The secure bins and labels are clearly identifiable and colour-coded for easy classification, and to ensure correct segregation. All waste is transported off-site safely by Med-X EPA-licenced vehicles to a regulated thermal waste processing facility.
Med-X aligns with all of Australia’s State and Territory legislation concerning clinical waste disposal. To ensure your business is not at risk of harming the environment or in breach of your local disposal legislation, it is important to understand clinical waste disposal regulations that apply to your region.
