WASTE COLLECTION SYSTEM FOR COLLECTING SOLID MEDICAL WASTE INCLUDING METAL DETECTION, PRE-DETECTION APPARATUS, AND/OR BAG-TENSIONING MECHANISM

摘要

A solid medical waste collection system for collecting solid medical waste. The system includes a mobile cart with a bag for storing the waste. A pre-detection apparatus detects metal-containing objects prior to placing them inside the bag to reduce costs to the facility in which the cart is employed. The system may also include a bag-tensioning mechanism for securing the bag to the cart.
