Frequently Asked Questions
How often should Hospitals in Freeport schedule medical waste pickup?
Hospitals in Freeport generally require scheduled medical waste pickups multiple times per week due to the high volume of waste generated across departments.

Our team will work with your environmental services department to build a compliant pickup schedule.
