Stericycle Overview: Coronavirus Response and Services

Our knowledge center is intended to keep you informed on the latest guidance for Coronavirus (COVID-19) waste disposal and help you prepare for the influx of waste generated by vaccinations. It also contains information on how we plan to continue service, including changes we are making to keep our employees, our customers and their patients, and our communities as safe as possible in the process.

With over 30 years of experience partnering with healthcare organizations, we understand the importance of continuing to serve you reliably, safely, and compliantly during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have made many strategic decisions related to collection, transportation, and disposal of regulated wastes to ensure our supply chain functions without disruption and to protect our customers from the financial burden of the pandemic.

Our infrastructure and capacity has supported healthcare providers across the country, 4,500+ COVID-19 testing sites and 200 temporary quarantine, testing, and treatment facilities and we have been recognized as a Company of the Year by the Business Intelligence Group (2020) and Stevie® Awards (2021), respectively, for our efforts. Be assured we continue to provide you industry-leading guidance and service.
