Waste: Bio-Medical & Hazardous Waste

 Some of the waste generated in a veterinary hospital cannot be handled normally through routine garbage disposal or through the sewer system. This type of material is known as bio-medical waste or hazardous waste that requires special treatment to prevent any risk to those individuals handling the materials or any risk to our environment.

Provincial and federal regulations require precise disposal of specific agents used in the treatment and diagnosis of disease, such as anesthetic gases, syringes, body tissues/fluids, chemotherapy drugs as well as, the careful monitoring of radiographic and anesthetic equipment for the protection of our employees and your pet.
