CT: Reusable medical waste tubs are our preferred transport container. We actively encourage all our customers to consider the use of reusable disposal containers instead of corrugated boxes to minimize the amount of deforestation. Since 2006, we have specifically initiated programs that foster the use of reusable containers among those customers who generate the largest quantities of medical waste, such as hospitals and medical centers.
