Pathological Waste Disposal
Many facilities generate what is considered biomedical pathological waste, which must be packaged and treated separately from your standard regulated medical waste. State and federal regulations stipulate that pathological waste be processed by incineration treatment only, so BioServ will transport your waste to the Northeast’s only licensed medical waste incineration facility for treatment.

Pathological Waste Management FAQs
Why is pathological waste regulated differently?
Pathological waste may present increased biohazard risks and therefore requires specialized handling, transportation, and treatment procedures. These regulations are designed to protect workers, patients, transporters, and the public from exposure to infectious materials.
How should pathological waste be stored before disposal?
To reduce odor and exposure risks, pathological waste should be stored in the leak-resistant, labeled containers provided by BioServ. Refrigerated storage may be required depending on applicable regulations and your facility’s waste pickup schedule.
How is pathological waste disposed of?
Pathological waste is often treated through incineration or other approved methods designed for anatomical waste. Disposal requirements vary based on state regulations and the type of pathological material generated.
