As part of the approval, the transfer station, located at 81 Farwell Street in West Haven, Connecticut, will also include a new wash system for reusable sharps and medical waste containers. This will maximize high-level disinfection rates while having a positive impact on the environment. By using a wash system and local transfer station, MedXwaste is reducing their carbon footprint with minimal cardboard use, less non-reusable plastic sharps containers, and fewer materials needing to be processed.
“Our team has worked diligently in collaboration with town and industry officials for over two years to bring the transfer station to life and make it easier for customers to handle waste. Our company is very excited to move into the next phase of opening and utilizing the medical waste processing facility in West Haven, Connecticut. This facility will provide more efficient and streamlined services, while protecting the environment and energy use.” said Sean Fredricks, chief executive officer of MedXwaste.
Additional benefits of the newly announced medical waste transfer facility include using tractor trailers for moving materials instead of small trucks for improved efficiency.
MedXwaste provides waste generators located in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Illinois with expert medical waste services to maintain OSHA compliance, keep employees safe and meet environmental responsibilities.
