Pathological Waste Disposal
Specialized containment and compliant disposal of tissues, organs, body parts, and surgical specimens.
What It Is
What Is Pathological Waste?
Pathological waste includes human tissues, organs, body parts, and fluids removed during surgery, biopsy, autopsy, or other medical procedures. It also includes specimens sent for diagnostic testing and any materials contaminated during these procedures.
Illinois requires pathological waste to be treated through incineration or other approved methods. We provide specialized containment and coordinate transport to licensed incineration facilities.
