Certificate of Disposal (COD) is issued for all regulated waste processed through our services, serving as official documentation of compliant destruction in accordance with federal and state regulations.
At Pureway Inc., this certificate depends on the availability of the type of services utilized and the processing workflow at certified treatment facilities. Below are the Certificates of Disposal for various services.
Sharps Mail-Back Program
If you are subscribing to the Sharps Mail-Back Program Services, the Certificate of Disposal is generally available within 1 to 15 business days after the package has been received at the treatment facility. The processing time may vary based on the facility's intake volume and verification steps, but certificates are typically issued promptly once the content is confirmed and processed.
Medical Waste Pickup Services
For regulated medical waste collected through a scheduled pickup, the timeline is much broader due to the following factors stated below:
Routing
Manifest Reconciliation
Centralized Treatment Operations
With these factors, the Certificate of Disposal is typically available within 2 to 3 weeks following the date of pickup. This period allows for transportation to the processing facility, waste processing, and verification of the chain of custody documentation.
Accessing the Certificate
Certificate of Disposal is accessible through the customer portal or can be requested through our Customer Service team. If expedited documentation is required, please contact us with your relevant tracking or account details.
Note: These type of documents should be retained for the own compliance and audit records.
