Trusted by Tens of Thousands of Small Businesses

WM enables small businesses to maintain regulatory compliance by providing regulated waste management and compliance solutions that protect people and brands, promote health and well-being, and safeguard the environment.

Small businesses contribute to the community’s economic growth by providing high-quality services, while maintaining the safety and well-being of their employees and customers. These businesses generate regulated medical waste, such as sharps, from their day-to-day operations or through customer use. This waste must be safely and compliantly disposed to facilitate corporate social responsibility initiatives and protect stakeholders in the community.

For businesses who provide services that use sharps, such as tattoo parlors, day spas, cosmetic spas, and acupuncture clinics, multiple sharps disposal containers may be required to keep employees safe and your business compliant with OSHA regulations. Additionally, we recommend that any medical waste generated by customers in hotels, restaurants, retail stores, and office buildings, be safely disposed to promote a healthful environment.

We customize solutions for your needs, whether you offer tattoos and piercings, conduct acupuncture physical therapy, or want to provide a safer environment in your office building, restaurant, or retail store.
