Medical Waste from OB/GYN Offices
Obstetric and gynecological practices generate sharps (needles, sutures, IUD insertion instruments), biohazard waste (blood-contaminated materials, wound care), pathological specimens (biopsies, tissue samples from procedures), and pharmaceutical waste. Hospital-based L&D units generate additional volumes of placental and biohazard waste.

Midwest Service Area
We serve OB/GYN offices, women’s health clinics, and midwifery practices throughout Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Kentucky.
Surgical/Pathological Waste, Sharps & Medication Disposal
OB/GYN practices generate pathological waste from D&C procedures, biopsies, and surgical deliveries; sharps from injections, IUD placements, and suturing; and biohazard waste from labor and delivery. Practices also handle medication disposal needs, including expired or unused medications and, in some cases, controlled substances requiring DEA-compliant destruction separate from your medical waste stream.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is tissue from a D&C or biopsy disposed of?
A: As pathological waste, which typically requires incineration and separate handling from general biohazard waste.
Q: Do OB/GYN practices need controlled substance disposal too?
A: Many do — controlled medications require DEA-compliant destruction, which is a separate process from your regulated medical waste service, and we can point you toward appropriate resources.
Q: What’s a typical sharps container size for an OB/GYN office?
A: Most single-to-multi-provider OB/GYN offices use 2 to 5-gallon containers per exam/procedure room, depending on injection and IUD placement volume.
