As First Responders, Fire & Police departments provide emergency medical services, a by-product of which is medical/biohazardous waste. This medical waste is typically transported back to the Fire/Police station for collection and disposal. Proper disposal of any biohazardous medical waste is crucial for avoiding accidental infections/exposures, safety of responders, patients and the general public.
