Long-Term Care Facilities

Medical Waste Solutions

Caring for long-term residents means creating a safe, dignified environment, while still managing medical waste behind the scenes. Though they don’t have emergency rooms, these facilities still need a partner who understands their unique pace and can handle sharps, dressings, and expired medications.

Long-Term Care Facilities

EcoMed provides reliable, flexible waste management tailored to the slower pace of long-term care facilities. We ensure safe disposal of sharps, pharmaceuticals, and biohazardous waste—while helping staff stay compliant with easy-to-use systems and ongoing training. As part of our sustainability commitment, we’re transitioning to ozone injection technology for cleaner, more energy-efficient waste processing.

Reliable, Flexible Service

Long-term care facilities operate at a different rhythm than hospitals, and their waste plan should reflect that. We provide scheduled pickups designed to keep things running smoothly without disrupting daily routines. Some of our more popular services include:

  • Tailored scheduling – We’ll match your facility’s pace
  • Efficient waste removal – Service that supports resident care
  • Flexible plans – We can adjust as your needs evolve

Safe Disposal of Medical & Pharmaceutical Waste

From diabetic care and wound treatment to routine medications, long-term care facilities generate a variety of regulated waste. We ensure proper disposal of:

  • Sharps & Needles – Secure containment and removal to prevent needlestick injuries.
  • Biohazardous Waste – Safe handling of red bag waste to prevent contamination risks.
  • Pharmaceutical Waste – Compliance-focused disposal of expired or unused medications.

Helping Staff Stay Compliant & Protected

Caregivers should be able to focus on residents, not regulations. We make medical waste compliance simple, so your team can stay centered on care.

  • Staff Training – Proper waste segregation and disposal best practices
  • Regulation Compliance – Handling aligned with all state and federal requirements
  • Secure Containment – Easy-to-use solutions that reduce risk and improve safety

A Greener Approach to Medical Waste

Sustainability matters, and we’re working to reduce the environmental impact of medical waste disposal with smarter, greener practices.

  • Trusted Autoclave Methods – Reliable processing used in current operations
  • Ozone Injection Technology – A cleaner, low-emission alternative is coming soon
  • Energy Efficiency – Reduced power usage during waste treatment
