XMED Disposal provides professional biohazard transport and disposal services and helps develop customized medical waste stream management plans for each client based on their needs. XMED is fully licensed and insured to handle all biohazard waste stream products.
XMED is different than most waste transporters because we have our own medical waste treatment facility and we use a combination of autoclave and incineration techniques to create energy from the waste. We believe that recycling, as well as environmentally safe and regulatory compliant treatment, is important because our 'Earth Matters'.
