JetSet Sharps Disposal — medical waste disposal

Industries

Medical waste disposal for nursing homes in South Texas.

We pick up sharps, red bag and boxed medical waste from nursing homes and long-term care facilities across the Rio Grande Valley and South Texas. The waste here is spread across a whole building rather than a treatment room, so the program is built around where it is actually generated.

What we take

What we pick up from a nursing home.

  • A gloved hand dropping a used syringe through the lid of a red rigid sharps container.

    Sharps

    Insulin needles and lancets, a few per resident per day, which adds up faster than most facilities expect. Containers on the med carts and in the med room, not only at a central point.

  • A red biohazard bag lining an open stainless steel step bin.

    Red bag waste

    Dressings, gloves and the soft regulated waste from wound care and treatments. Bags supplied where care is given, which in a nursing home means the halls as well as the clinical rooms.

  • Three sealed corrugated boxes stacked on a hand truck in a corridor.

    Boxed medical waste

    The box everything travels in, and the only line on your invoice.

Also available

We also shred paper records.

Resident charts, care plans and anything else carrying a name has to be destroyed rather than thrown out, and long-term care generates more of it than most. We pick up paper records and shred them too. Ask when you request a quote.

See everything we pick up

What the program includes

A program that covers a building, not a room.

  • Containers on the carts and in the halls

    Sharps containers travel with the med carts and sit on the wings, because that is where the insulin is given. A container only used at a central station is a container nobody uses.

  • A frequency set to your census

    A full house generates more than a half-empty one. You set the schedule, and we adjust it when your census does.

  • Training that survives staff turnover

    Long-term care turns staff over faster than most settings, and the training has to keep up. We cover segregation as part of set-up and again whenever you need it.

  • 24-hour pick-up

    For a container that fills early or a week that runs heavy. Call and we come.

What it costs

You pay for the boxes we handle.

No fuel fees, no non-hazardous drug disposal fees, no energy fees, and no penalties or fines added after you sign. The invoice counts the boxes and stops there.
