Why Choose A Local Company Like Healthcare Medical Waste Services?

When it comes to medical waste disposal companies you have a choice between locally-owned and nationally-owned companies. However when you compare a local company like Healthcare Medical Waste Services to their national competitors, you’ll note that there are major difference in price, service and compliance.

Let’s see how both stack up in each category:

Price

National Medical Waste Companies:

2. Hidden Fees-Many national medical waste companies will quote you a low-low rate and then slam you with hidden fees, like administration fees, environmental fees and document retention fees, as well as additional charges for containers, boxes and red bags.
3. Raise Their Prices At Any Time- National medical waste disposal companies usually add a clause to their service agreements that allows them to increase their prices by as much as 18% per year. That means at the end of a standard five year agreement with a national medical waste disposal company you could be paying a whopping 129% more their original price quote.
