The cost of waste management can be a confusing prospect because what you pay depends on so many factors: what kind of waste you’re disposing of, how much of that waste you produce, where your medical facility is located, and on and on. This confusion leads a lot of people in the medical field to sign up for a waste management contract just to avoid having to sift through all that information. However, if you’re thinking about signing up for one of these contracts from a medical waste management company, it’s imperative you know exactly what that contract entails—and just how much it might cost you.  

A waste management contract can be a complicated, involved document, but it is absolutely a legally binding contract—one that can have huge financial ramifications for your doctors’ office. In particular, you need to be aware of your renewal date to ensure you aren’t inadvertently signed up for that contract again.  

Medical waste contracts are not something to take lightly. Once you sign on the dotted line, you are financially and legally obligated to comply with the terms of that contract. What does this mean for your medical waste management? It means it’s imperative you ask the right questions and get all the information about the contract before you agree to anything in writing.
