How is biohazard waste handled in Texas?
Biohazard waste is packaged in sealed containers and taken to approved disposal. In Texas, companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Ask any team how its waste is hauled and disposed of.
What should I ask a death cleanup company before hiring?
