Frequently Asked Questions
How often should Nursing Homes in Oregon schedule medical waste pickup?
Nursing homes in Oregon typically schedule weekly or bi-weekly medical waste pickups given the ongoing generation of sharps, wound care waste, and pharmaceutical waste across resident rooms and nursing stations. Facilities with memory care units or high medication administration rates may generate pharmaceutical waste at a pace that warrants monthly pharmaceutical-specific collection in addition to regular biohazard service.
What containers do Nursing Homes need?
Nursing homes in Oregon need sharps containers in small sizes for resident room medication carts as well as larger containers for nursing stations. Red-bag biohazard boxes for wound care and dressing change waste, pharmaceutical waste containers for expired or discontinued medications, and separate RCRA containers for hazardous pharmaceutical waste are all commonly required.
