Why is BioServ the Best Choice for Medical Waste Management in Vermont?
Although the environment is a major priority in the beautiful green state of Vermont, the state has been historically under-served and over-charged for environmental waste management services.
Because it is of critical importance that Vermont businesses manage their regulated waste in accordance with state regulations, BioServ offers comprehensive and cost-effective waste management programs, with on-call and automatic pick-up options to fit your specific needs. We employ NO middlemen or third-party transporters–your waste will be picked up by a BioServ employee and transported on a licensed and insured company truck to a permitted destruction facility.
