WARNING BIOHAZARD!!!
The medical field uses a lot of items that need to be thrown away. Thinking that a regular trash bin is enough to dispose of the single use items is very wrong. Many of such items are a biohazard or can infect those interacting directly with them, thus they must be taken care of accordingly.
When dealing with dangerous materials, and especially when it comes to throwing them away, the type of container used is very important. The bin or the box should not allow any leaks, slips, or punctures. Using some containers that can be safely placed one on top of the other is also very helpful when the storage room is small.
Medcans is a world leader when it comes to designing, engineering, and supplying high quality medical waste containers. There are 5 sizes of containers available, of 18, 28, 38, gallons, and 96 and 200 gallons Schaefer. These sizes cater to the needs of various clinics that have different needs when it comes to disposing of dangerous items. All of the Medcan waste containers meet the D.O.T. regulations, unlike other types of waste bins.
The medical waste containers of 18 gallons are easy to handle, mostly because of the handles attached to the sides of the bin. Stocking these containers one over the other is very easy and secure because they use nesting lids and bottoms. As a matter of fact, all Medcan waste containers use this feature, however the design on each size container is different. The lid of these containers snaps to close. The clinics can safely hot stamp the Medcan waste containers if needed.
A clinic would need about 660 containers to completely load a standard dry van measuring 52'6" (length) by 102" (width) x 102" (height) with 18 gallon waste bins. There would be 6 boxes piled vertically and 5 columns on the van’s width. Granted, the bigger the containers the less of them would fit in the van. No matter their size they have a non-slippery design, so they won’t easily flip over either.
If the bins become too heavy to handle by a person dollies are also available to maneuver the waste bins in a more comfortable manner. The dollies are extremely useful to move stacked waste containers, or the larger ones of 28 and 38 gallons. The containers of 96 and 200 gallons are already equipped with wheels to further ease their handling.
