How to Start a Medical Waste Disposal Company
8/6/2019
Conduct Feasibility Studies
You’ll need to check out the laws that regulate the medical waste industry, what insurance is necessary and who your competitors will be. You’ll also need to find out how many healthcare facilities there are in the area you intend to service.
Undergo Training
The public health department in your state will be able to tell you what training you need. It usually includes training in solid waste management, hazardous waste management and safety protocols.
Register the Company
Medical waste disposal businesses are highly regulated in most countries because of their hazardous nature. Your attorney should be able to help you to register your company as well as assist with the various permits and licenses.
Find a Location
Your location for a new plant will need to be checked and approved by the public health inspector. Alternatively, you could purchase an existing plant that’s already in a suitable location.
Equip the Plant
You’ll need incinerators or steam sterilizers, radiation detection equipment, trucks and more.
Source Staff
Staff will need to be hired and trained specifically in hazardous waste handling and disposal.
Source Contracts
Marketing is the next step in order to get healthcare facilities to make use of your services. Aim to secure at least 5 contracts in the first quarter of starting up. This should enable you to break even in the first year.
