Greenville anchors South Carolina's Upstate, a growing medical corridor that reaches Spartanburg, Anderson, Greer, Simpsonville, Easley, Clemson and Gaffney. Hospitals, surgery centers, clinics and long-term care facilities across the Upstate generate infectious waste every day. EnviCare serves South Carolina statewide, and Upstate facilities are served from our Columbia CareExchange on local SC routes. We're a large regional Southeast medical waste company headquartered at our CareCenter in Cartersville, Georgia, with a fleet that runs from route trucks to tractor trailers.

Who We Serve in Greenville
-
Hospitals and surgery centers need steady regulated medical waste and sharps pickups plus survey-ready documentation.
-
Physician, specialty, urgent care and dental practices need pickup frequencies sized to their volume.
-
Nursing homes and long-term care facilities can put pharmaceutical waste, sharps and regulated medical waste on one schedule.
Around them sit veterinary clinics, dialysis centers, labs, pharmacies, funeral homes, and tattoo and body art studios. Most generate infectious waste and need a collector who shows up on schedule and keeps the paperwork straight.
How Service Works
-
Step 1: Tell us what you generate. Call or request a quote and describe your waste streams (biohazard, sharps, pharmaceuticals, trace chemo, paper records) and your rough volume.
-
Step 2: Get the right containers. We set you up with biohazard boxes or reusable containers, reusable or disposable sharps containers, and pharmaceutical, trace-chemo and shredding containers as needed. You can also order supplies through the EnviCare shop.
-
Step 3: Pick a schedule. Weekly, every other week, monthly or on call, based on how much you generate and South Carolina's storage limits.
-
Step 4: We collect and document. Drivers pick up sealed containers and record each pickup on an electronic manifest, so you have a chain of custody when an inspector asks.
-
Step 5: Treatment and records. Your waste goes to a permitted treatment facility. Your manifests and certificates of destruction are available whenever you need them.

South Carolina Compliance Note
South Carolina calls medical waste infectious waste and regulates it under the South Carolina Infectious Waste Management Act and Regulation 61-105, administered by the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services (SCDES). Generators must register with SCDES, keep to on-site storage limits (no more than 14 days, or 30 days at or below 42°F), and use a manifest on every off-site shipment. Transporters must hold an SCDES infectious waste transporter registration.
EnviCare is a registered South Carolina infectious waste transporter (SCDES registration IWT000008). Every pickup comes with an SCDES-approved electronic manifest. Our South Carolina medical waste services page has a fuller summary. (This is general information, not legal advice.)
Greenville Medical Waste FAQ
Do you serve the rest of the Upstate?
Yes. Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Greer, Simpsonville, Easley, Clemson and Gaffney are part of our Upstate service area. Practices with offices across the Upstate, or elsewhere in South Carolina, can keep every location on one account.
Where are Upstate facilities served from?
Greenville and the Upstate are served from our Columbia CareExchange on local South Carolina routes.
Does South Carolina require a medical waste manifest?
Yes. Every off-site shipment needs a manifest on SCDES Form 2116 or another SCDES-approved form, and the generator keeps a copy. EnviCare's electronic manifest for every pickup is SCDES-approved and meets South Carolina's manifest rule (R.61-105 Section M).
How long can we store infectious waste on site?
No more than 14 days on site, or 30 days if kept at or below 42°F. We set your pickup schedule to stay inside those limits.
Can we mail in used sharps?
No. Sharps are collected through scheduled pickup, either with our reusable sharps program or with disposable containers. Our mail-back service is for pharmaceuticals only.
Where is EnviCare based?
Our headquarters and plant are at the Cartersville CareCenter in Bartow County, Georgia. Greenville and the Upstate are served through our statewide South Carolina routes and our Columbia CareExchange.
