Lab Pack Biohazard Waste Pickup

December 01, 2023

Every year, healthcare facilities, warehouses, government agencies, universities, and laboratories produce large amounts of hazardous waste materials. Getting rid of these can be difficult, expensive, and time-consuming. There are more than 35,000 laboratory operations in the United States, many of which regularly produce high-risk waste. Therefore, it's crucial to properly dispose of these harmful wastes to guarantee the public's health and safety.

At TransChem Environmental, LLC, we offer lab pack biohazard waste pickup services to ensure your lab waste is disposed of economically and in an environmentally friendly manner. Many laboratories use various quantities of different chemicals, typically less than 10 liters of each. Certain chemicals, such as picric acid used in medical laboratories, can become unstable and potentially explosive over time. Solvents, cleaning solutions, aerosols, and compressed gas bottles can also pose a serious risk after use.

Lab packs are generally used to clean out an accumulation of mislabeled, leaking, contaminated, or outdated small containers (less than five gallons) containing chemicals, solvents, cleaners, inks, dyes, reagents, paints, and other materials. They are arranged and categorized into groups, such as acids, bases, flammables, and toxins. And they’re typically used to transfer smaller containers of hazardous waste materials.

In this operation, smaller containers are packed into a huge drum, which may carry up to 55 gallons of waste. To ensure safe transportation for medical waste disposal, each smaller container inside this drum (lab pack) must be properly arranged and cushioned with dormant material.
