MedXwaste to open medical waste transfer station in Connecticut

MedXwaste, a provider of medical waste disposal services based in Island Park, New Jersey, has received approval for a new medical waste transfer station located in West Haven, Connecticut. The facility will be designed to meet all current regulatory requirements for medical waste handling and provide consolidation for waste processing as well as boost energy savings. 

As part of the approval, the transfer station, located 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 says it is reducing their carbon footprint with minimal cardboard use, less nonreusable plastic sharps containers, and fewer materials needing to be processed. 

"Our team has worked diligently in collaboration with town and industry officials for more than two years to bring the transfer station to life and make it easier for customers to handle waste,” says Sean Fredricks, CEO of MedXwaste. “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." 

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. MedXwaste also services clients nationwide through partnerships. With flexible pickup schedules, MedXwaste says it makes it possible for businesses to reduce the storage and handling of regulated medical waste. The new facility will ensure that the destruction and processing of waste are run under the highest standards.   

"Our mission is centered on bringing peace of mind to our customers by delivering service through safety,” Fredricks says. “We help our customers to maintain compliance, optimize costs, and create a better environment for everyone. This new facility is an expansion of our goals to provide access to even more businesses."
