CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES
The customer is held wholly responsible that only biomedical waste is placed in boxes/containers. Radioactive or hazardous waste is unacceptable to BioTran Incorporated. Customer shall have sole responsibility for the proper and lawful packaging, labeling, and storage of its biomedical waste. BioTran Incorporated shall be responsible only for the pick-up of such bagged waste in boxes or containers supplied or approved. If the waste is liquid, it must be in a container approved for transport with the proper absorbent materials. If the customer elects to supply its own containers, the customer will be solely responsible for the construction, labeling, and marking of such containers as applicable by law. BioTran reserves the right to refuse any containers it deems to be improperly packaged. Customer agrees that its storage of biomedical waste shall be confined to an area to which only authorized personnel shall have access on customer’s property. Customer shall provide access to BioTran employees for pick-up and delivery of all containers. Customer shall hold BioTran Incorporated harmless from all loss, damage and expense, including attorney’s fees suffered as a result of the breach by customer of the provisions of this paragraph.

We accept checks and credit cards. The customer pickup must be confirmed via email or fax, telephone confirmation is not available. A $35.00 late fee will be added to delinquent amounts over 30 days from date of pickup or on returned checks. In the instance of Biotran delivering setup supplies, which includes a box(es), bag(s), and roll of tape, without picking up medical waste, a $30.00 set-up fee will be due at that time (COD). If the BioTran representative deems the biobox to be improperly packaged, the client will have the opportunity to repackage at that point in time, otherwise there will be a repackaging fee of $35.00 billed to the client at that pickup date. If any container exceeds the weigh limit of 55 lbs, there will be double the current charge for each box that is overweight
