Frequently Asked Questions

Is OnSite a broker?

OnSite uses a hybrid service model. Some solutions are delivered directly by OnSite, while others are fulfilled through carefully selected and permitted service assignments. OnSite remains fully responsible for supporting all aspects of the program, technology, support, pricing, and service dependability. OnSite enhances all programs with its proprietary technology and management platforms and supports with its dedicated experts.

Is my practice too small for OnSite?

No. OnSite supports healthcare facilities of all sizes, including single-location practices and small-volume generators.

Depending on your needs, your program might include scheduled pickups, mail-back service, or another right-sized solution.

Is my organization too large for OnSite?

No. OnSite provides national account programs to include a wide range of services and custom-built technologies and management platforms. To qualify for OnSite's National Accounts Program, supported through WasteTech, an operator should have at least 20 waste-generating facilities through a consolidated program.

OnSite is proud to service hundreds of operators, supporting anywhere between 20 to 1200 sites within a single program. Corporate gets control and site-level visibility without forcing every site into the same box.

Are your products and services permitted in my state?

OnSite's products and services maintain compliance with all relevant Federal, State, and Local guidelines. Approval and certification processes vary nationally by regulatory agency, and OnSite delivers all documentation to keep its clients equipped, prepared, and compliant.

How does OnSite build a program for my organization?

We start by understanding how you currently manage waste — including your locations, waste streams, service needs, workflow and goals. From there, our team recommends the combination of services and solutions that makes the most sense for your organization.

Do I have to replace my entire current waste program?

Not necessarily. OnSite solutions can be used together or independently, allowing us to build around what is already working and address the areas that need improvement.

Can OnSite support both independent practices and multi-location organizations?

Yes. Programs can be designed for individual practices as well as larger organizations managing multiple locations. OnSite also positions its service network as nationwide.

How does OnSite help with medical waste compliance?

Our team helps organizations understand their waste-management requirements and build services around their needs. Because requirements can vary by location and waste stream, the goal is to give your team clearer guidance and a more manageable process.

Can my program change after it is implemented?

Absolutely. Support is part of the approach. As your organization, locations, waste volumes or operational needs change, we can revisit the program and adjust the services around them.

What solutions can be included in my program?

Depending on your needs, OnSite offers services including medical waste pickups, mail-back programs, document shredding, treatment technology, WasteTech IQ and medical waste products.

Where is OnSite located?

OnSite is based in Newport Beach, California.

What's the culture like?

People-first, collaborative, and genuinely social, with a team drawn from a wide range of backgrounds and real time made to celebrate each other.

Do I need Medical Waste experience to apply?

We hire a variety of different roles, many of which require no previous Medical Waste experience.

How do I apply if there are no matching roles?

Use the form on this page to introduce yourself. Even without a matching opening, OnSite welcomes hearing from good people.

Which service is right for my organization?

It depends on your volume and what you generate. Most organizations use scheduled collection as their core, with add-ons for other streams. A specialist can point you to the right mix.

Can I combine more than one service?

Yes. Sharps and red bag collection is the core, and pharmaceutical, pathological, and shredding can all run on the same account, with one invoice and one point of contact.

Do you handle every type of waste we generate?

Yes. From sharps and red bag to pharmaceutical, controlled substances, pathological, and document destruction, it all runs through one program.

What if we operate in more than one location?

Your program runs the same way across every site, with consistent service and one place to see volume, costs, and compliance.

Does the TE-5000 work for my organization?

It's built for organizations generating sharps and red bag waste in volumes that make on-site treatment worthwhile. A specialist can tell you quickly whether it's a fit, or whether collection makes more sense for you.

What waste can TE-5000 treat?

Sharps and red bag waste. For pharmaceutical, pathological, or other streams, those are handled through your broader OnSite program.

Is the treated waste really safe for regular trash?

Yes. The unit uses dry heat to render the waste non-infectious, which is what makes it safe to dispose of as regular trash once the cycle finishes.

How much space and setup does TE-5000 need?

It's desktop-sized and runs on standard power. We handle installation and train your team before your first cycle.

What can I send back through mail-back?

Sharps, red bag, and pharmaceutical waste, including controlled substances. Hazardous pharmaceutical mail-back is also available in states that have adopted Subpart P; a specialist can confirm whether this option is available for you.

Is mail-back right for my organization?

It's built for lower-volume sites. If you generate more than a kit can handle, a specialist can point you to collection instead.

What's included in a mail-back program kit?

A collection container, a compliant return box, and a prepaid shipping label. A signed manifest comes back to confirm treatment.

How do I know the waste was treated?

Every kit comes back with a signed manifest documenting treatment, so you have proof for your records.

How is my collection schedule set?

Around your actual volume. We look at what you generate, set a frequency that fits, and adjust as that changes.

What waste is included in collection?

Standard collection covers your sharps and red bag waste. You can add pharmaceutical, pathological, and other streams to the same program.

Are there hidden fees?

No. One clear rate covers your service, with no fuel surcharges, environmental fees, or admin costs.

What's involved in switching from our current vendor?

We coordinate the timing so your service doesn't lapse, and handle the setup.

Who is WasteTech IQ for?

Organizations managing waste across multiple locations. It gives corporate and facilities teams one view of every site.

What can I actually see in the WasteIQ dashboard?

How does WasteIQ helps with compliance?

It maps regulatory requirements by waste stream, shows each site's risk level, and gives clear corrective actions.

Does WasteIQ work with our existing OnSite services?

Yes. IQ runs across your whole program, so the data from every service and site comes together in one place.

Is there a volume limit in document shredding?

No. Whether it's a few boxes or a regular high-volume schedule, we build the plan around what you need.

Do you offer on-site or off-site shredding?

Both are available in select regions. Most customers choose off-site, but on-site is an option if you'd rather witness the destruction yourself.

How do I prove documents were destroyed?

Every pickup comes with digital proof of destruction, a record you can keep for compliance or audits.

Is the document shredding service certified?

Yes. Shredding is NAID certified with a documented chain of custody from pickup to destruction.

Do you work with settings that aren't listed here?

Yes. We work with more than forty healthcare specialties. Even if your setting isn't shown here, a specialist can build a program around it. 

How is a program different from one setting to the next?

The containers, schedule, and training change based on what you generate and how your space is laid out. The service and support stay the same.

Can you handle more than one location?

Yes. However many locations you run, they operate on the same program with one point of contact.
