Hospital Integrated Waste Stream Solutions

Our Integrated Waste Stream Solutions (IWSS) offer Sustainable Solutions^TM for managing the complexities of all your hospital wastes.

Managing Hospital Waste Is a Complex Process

Healthcare facilities, such as large hospitals and medical centers generate at least 10 different waste streams with 80% being highly regulated. These waste streams are:

Sharps Management Waste
Trace and Chemo Waste
Regulated Medical Waste
Rx Waste
Municipal Solid Waste
Recyclables
Confidential Documents
Hazardous Waste
Universal Waste
Electronic Waste and Privacy-Protected Information

No single department is responsible for managing all hospital waste streams. To stay in compliance and improve environmental performance, you don’t need 10 different waste companies. All you need is one. Stericycle.
