Healthcare risk waste cannot go in the municipal bin, down the drain, or out with the general refuse. It has to be collected by a registered transporter and delivered to a facility permitted to treat it.
The waste manifest is the control document that follows a load from your premises to the treatment facility. You complete a section, we complete a section, the facility completes a section. There is no prescribed form — what is prescribed is the information it must carry.
Waste transport records are retained for a minimum of five years and produced to the authorities on request. That obligation sits with you as much as with us, which is why we file a copy against your account rather than handing you a slip and hoping you keep it.

All of them. Sharps containers, biohazard bags, rigid bins and pharmaceutical containers, correctly coloured and labelled, delivered before your first collection and replaced at every visit.
No. Month to month, with no cancellation penalty. The service is what keeps the account, not a signature.
Send us a photo of what you are currently throwing away and we will tell you honestly whether you need us, and what it would cost.
