ABSTRACT:
A method of disposing of medical waste is disclosed wherein medical waste generated at a facility such as a hospital, clinic, and/or a doctor's office, after being bagged and sterilized, usually by a steam autoclave, is delivered to a mobile carrier having a shredder or similar device, for finely-dividing the sterilized waste which is then compacted and transferred to a storage area on the carrier where it can be commingled with sterilized shredded medical waste obtained from other facilities having been processed in like manner, before being transported to a sanitary disposal site. A mobile carrier for disposing medical waste in the afore described manner having mounted thereon a shredder, located at one end of the carrier for receiving and finely dividing sterilized medical waste from a facility which generates the waste and a compacting unit coacting with the shredder for compacting and moving the finely-divided waste to a storage area therein. A particular feature of the present mobile carrier for finely dividing, compacting and storing the treated medical waste is an arrangement for providing power to drive the shredder and compactor from the vehicle propulsion system which also powers the raising of the unregulated waste storage area to dump the waste in a sanitary landfill.
