Onsite Waste Technologies
OnSite Waste Technology is a firm located in Newport Beach, California. We
are committed to lowering the risk, cost, and effects that medical waste treatment
and disposal leave on the environment. Our current technology TE-5000 is a
processing unit of the size of a desktop but transforms the waste, including
syringes into disinfected garbage. It lessens the CO2 influence by lessening waste.
Our mission is to reduce the transportation of waste to any common location. We
are dedicated to presenting greener and cleaner options for processing the
disposal of medical wastes. We also look forward to assisting NGOs, first
responders, and government agencies to dispose of large quantities of sharps
waste to minimize the risk for community members, workers, and others.
Handling the Medical Waste
Generated at Home
Determining how to handle or dispose of the medical waste generated at home, is
a challenging task. Above all, it is an important task as incorrect disposing of
medical waste can cause severe damage to the environment and the bio-life.
Just like there is a proper way to dispose of every kind of trash,
disposing of medical waste should also be done appropriately. Identifying the
items of medical waste, following the government regulations regarding the
proper disposal of medical waste at home, and accepting the procedure for
disposal of contaminated sharps and other types of medical waste are necessary
steps in the medical waste disposal process.
Medical Waste Generated at Home
All types of medical wastes are always potentially active to carry transmittable infectious
pathogens or viruses like HIV, Hepatitis B or C virus, etc. Medical wastes generated at home
include;
• Bandages filled with blood or body fluids
• Needles
• Glucose Strips
• Sharps containers
• Used gloves
• IV Catheters
• Cotton swabs soiled with body fluids or blood
• Biohazard Bags
• Urinary Catheter sets
When there is medical waste generated at home, it becomes one’s responsibility to handle it
with utmost care and precautions. Identify the difference between medical waste and trash, and
know how to rightly dispose of them. Medical waste should be properly segregated, handled,
labeled, stored, and finally disposed of.
The most common type of medical wastes generated at home is sharps and medicines. These
wastes are to be handled and disposed of appropriately.

Containers for Disposing Sharps
Sharps are any object that can pierce the skin like needles, broken glass,
syringes, etc., and infect you with any kind of pathogens. The used sharps are
infected with biotic substances that can transmit diseases into the
environment.
Hence, sharps are needed to dispose of in special containers that are leak-proof
and puncture-resistant. Approved containers must be made of hard cardboard
or plastic and placed near the area where the sharps are used. They need to be
replaced timely to avoid overfilling of the container.
Once the container is full, they are to be disposed of at designated collection
sites or collected by specified pick-up services or through mail-back programs.
