Blood Bank Waste Disposal Services
Blood banks play a vital role in healthcare. They provide blood for transfusions, support medical research, and prevent blood shortages during crises in healthcare systems. However, the waste they generate needs to be handled with care to prevent disease transmission.
At Specific Waste Industries (SWI), we offer compliant medical waste disposal for blood banks to help keep staff and blood donors safe. Our team adheres to a strict safety protocol when handling medical waste to reduce the risk of exposure and infection. Contact us to learn more!
What Is Blood Bank Waste?
Blood bank waste includes any items used during blood collection and testing that are contaminated with blood and other bodily fluids. These items pose a safety risk to blood bank staff and donors, as they have the potential to spread infectious diseases.
Proper collection and disposal of blood bank waste are necessary to protect public health and maintain compliance with federal and state regulations.

How Our Blood Bank Waste Disposal Process Works
We follow a streamlined approach to facilitate waste disposal. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Initial Consultation
We will start by arranging a consultation to identify the types and volume of waste your facility generates. Based on your facility’s needs, our team will create a tailored disposal plan.
Step 2: Pickup Scheduling
After the consultation, we will ask you to choose a time and day of the week for routine pickups. With us, you can schedule your pickups weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, or annually as needed.
Step 3: Safe Collection and Disposal
Our team will provide you with OSHA-approved waste containers. Once these containers are full, they can be set aside for collection. On the agreed-upon day and time, our team will arrive at your facility to collect your filled waste containers, which will then be transported to one of our licensed treatment facilities for final disposal.
