Company Profile

Business Description

Stericycle provides regulated medical waste management services to large-quantity generators (such as hospitals) and small-quantity generators (such as medical and dental offices). The company handles disposal via its massive network of processing facilities that house autoclaves (steam treatment to kill pathogens) and, to a lesser degree, incinerators. Medical waste includes the likes of needles, syringes, gloves, cultures, bloodied materials, and anatomical waste. The company also offers a host of ancillary services, including OSHA compliance, pharmaceutical waste management, sharps management, patient-communications solutions, hazardous waste pickup, and secure document destruction (Shred-it).
