Hospitals face a constant challenge: safely disposing of medical waste while managing tight budgets. From sharps and contaminated materials to biohazardous packaging, improper disposal can be both costly and risky. A hospital waste incinerator from Firelake Manufacturing offers a safe, efficient, and cost-effective solution—saving facilities thousands of dollars over time.
Investing in a Firelake hospital waste incinerator is more than an equipment purchase—it’s a long-term financial strategy.

Cut Third-Party Disposal Costs
Outsourcing medical waste disposal can quickly add up. Many hospitals pay by the pound for pick-up services, with costs increasing based on waste volume and frequency. By bringing waste incineration in-house, hospitals eliminate these recurring fees, reducing annual disposal expenses significantly.
Reduce Transportation & Handling Fees
Medical waste transport is expensive and subject to strict regulations, often requiring specialized containers and trained personnel. In-house incineration eliminates the need for frequent waste transportation, cutting labor, packaging, and costs while streamlining operations. See the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency-Infectious waste for transporters (PDF).
Extend Equipment Lifespan with Durable Design
Every Firelake hospital waste incinerator is built with high-temperature refractory linings and rugged exteriors designed to last. This durability means fewer breakdowns, reduced repair bills, and a longer service life—maximizing your investment.
Save Time with Simple Operation
Time is money, especially in a busy hospital environment. Our incinerators feature straightforward controls—set the timer, press Start, and walk away. Staff can focus on patient care instead of spending hours managing waste, improving productivity across the facility.
Minimize Storage Space Requirements
Storing medical waste until it’s hauled away can require expensive, secure storage areas. In-house incineration reduces or eliminates the need for these spaces, freeing up valuable square footage for patient services or other revenue-generating uses.
