Ben Mihm founded Emergency Response Crime Scene Cleaning and Medical Waste Disposal in February of 2000. He served as a Glendale Police Officer and Homicide Detective for 20 years. Ben was injured in the line of duty and forced to retire from a career he loved. While he served as a Homicide Detective, he came across numerous scenes where there was a need for a professional cleaning company that could respond and handle complex needs.
He decided to develop a company that could not only handle Bio- Hazardous cleanups, but focused on Tear Gas, Forensic Chemicals, Disease Sanitization, and Disposal of both Medical and Hazardous Waste. He developed specialized services for Law Enforcement and designed specific trucks to vacuum and recover blood, oil, and fuels from roadways. He continues to design, develop, and teach educational safety programs for Law Enforcement and Municipalities.

Medical waste refers to any waste generated during the diagnosis, treatment, or immunization of humans or animals or the production or testing of biological substances. It can include items like used needles, contaminated gloves, expired medications, and more.
Proper medical waste disposal is crucial to prevent the spread of infections, protect the environment, and comply with regulations. Incorrect disposal can harm healthcare workers, waste handlers, and the general public.
Medical waste is generated by healthcare facilities, including hospitals, clinics, doctor’s offices, dental practices, laboratories, and even at home for individuals with medical conditions.
Medical waste is typically categorized into four types: infectious waste, hazardous waste, radioactive waste, and general (non-hazardous) waste.
Improper disposal can lead to environmental contamination, health risks, legal consequences, and damage to a facility’s reputation. Non-compliance with regulations can result in fines and penalties.
Common medical waste items include used syringes, bandages, gloves, cultures, tissues, expired pharmaceuticals, body parts, and personal protective equipment (PPE).
Sharps should be placed in puncture-resistant containers, labeled as “sharps,” and should not be overfilled. These containers must be sealed securely before disposal.
Medical waste disposal is subject to both federal and state regulations in many countries. In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) have guidelines, while individual states may have their own regulations.
You can search for licensed medical waste disposal services in your area by contacting your state’s environmental agency or by searching online directories.
