How we work
From contract to treatment certificate
Five clear steps, each one documented.
- 1Contract and needs assessment
We learn your facility type, approximate waste volume and the visit frequency you need, then send a quotation, sign the contract and deliver bags and containers.
- 2Collection visit and manifest
Our team arrives on the scheduled date, weighs the load and records it on a waste manifest that your facility stamps before loading.
- 3Transport and re-weighing on receipt
The waste travels in dedicated vehicles straight to our treatment facility in Buraydah, where it is re-weighed and the manifest is stamped on receipt.
- 4Treatment
Each category gets the right method: autoclave sterilisation for infectious waste, and incineration for pharmaceutical and anatomical waste.
- 5Treatment certificate and invoice
A treatment certificate is issued for the load together with the invoice, and you will find both, with the manifest, in the client portal at any time.
