Managed waste services for healthcare facilities
WHK manages the non-hazardous side of healthcare waste: everyday solid waste, recycling, cardboard, and dietary organics across hospitals, clinics, and care facilities. Regulated medical waste stays with your specialized provider, and we define that split scope clearly so nothing falls between vendors. One point of contact, one invoice, consistent service and reporting across every facility.
Most healthcare waste isn't medical waste, and it's where the savings and consistency live
Regulated medical waste rightly gets the attention, but the larger volume across most facilities is ordinary solid waste, recycling, cardboard, and food waste, managed by a patchwork of vendors with fragmented reporting.
We standardize that everyday waste across every facility and coordinate the total program, so your teams get consistency and clean reporting without touching the specialized handling that RMW requires.
The waste your facilities generate
Solid waste, recycling, cardboard, dietary organics, e-waste, and renovation debris, we manage the everyday non-regulated waste across every care setting, and coordinate regulated streams with qualified providers.

How WHK manages your facility waste program
We start by mapping what you generate across every location, then standardize your program with one cadence and vetted recyclers everywhere. Scheduled pickups come with chain-of-custody records, and your materials are processed responsibly with diversion and activity rolled into one report.

A broker hands your assets to whoever's cheapest and disappears. We own
the outcome. Vetted recyclers, real people, full accountability
Specialized waste, handled by specialists. Coordinated by us
Regulated medical waste demands specialized, compliant handling under OSHA, DOT, DEA, and state rules. Our role is to manage your non-regulated waste and recycling and bring coordination and reporting to the total program, not to substitute for qualified RMW handling.
Responsible routing
Recyclables and organics from everyday care operations are routed to vetted processors, with documented weight and chain-of-custody records for each stream.
Auditable recovery
Regulated medical waste is coordinated alongside qualified RMW providers, keeping split-scope handling clean and your total-program reporting consolidated.

Why healthcare operators trust WHK
We don't broker your program. We own the relationship at every location you operate, which means we're answerable for what happens from pickup to final processing.
Every facility in our network is vetted and documented. Chain of custody records follow your materials through every step, giving you the evidence you need for compliance and ESG reporting.
Consolidated data across all locations rolls into one report. No piecing together invoices from five different vendors or explaining gaps in your diversion numbers to auditors.
We own your program end to end, not as a broker passing you between vendors.
