What West Lake Hills Property Owners Ask About Biohazard Waste Removal
How should I store sharps until the team arrives?

Do I have to sort the waste before the team comes?
No. Leave it as it is and keep people and pets away. Sorting by hand is how many sticks and splashes happen. The cleanup team sorts and packs everything with protective gear and the right containers.
Who is allowed to haul medical waste in Texas?
Companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). You can ask any cleanup team how its waste is hauled and disposed of, and request a record of the pickup.
