How we work
From contract to treatment certificate
Five clear steps, each one documented.

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.
- 2Pickup and manifest
We collect the medicines in sealed containers on demand or on the scheduled date, weigh them and record them on the manifest, which 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.
- 4Destruction by incineration
Medicines and pharmaceutical waste are destroyed in the facility incinerator, so they cannot be reused or diverted.
- 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.
