Why We Exist

We know the healthcare world. We were born from it in 1985. Back then, what we now know as UW Health University Hospital, UnityPoint Health Meriter Hospital, and SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital formed a non-profit alliance to cost-effectively collect and treat their infectious and medical waste.

Over the years, we’ve expanded to other states and serve a variety of organizations. We have a full range of transport and treatment services, including devitalizing biotech waste to collecting infectious waste and sharps through our nationwide mailback program.

However, our mission remains the same: to provide innovative, environmentally safe, and cost-effective medical waste disposal services while delivering a personalized customer experience so our clients can dedicate resources to patient care.
