What does AES offer healthcare facilities?
Advanced Environmental Services (AES) serves residential, commercial, industrial, governmental and healthcare customers from 3100 Gravois Ave in St. Louis. Its healthcare-related services are medical waste disposal, laboratory waste disposal, hazardous material abatement, demolition and concrete floor work.
This page lists only what AES publishes. It does not describe clinical protocols, infection control programs or certifications that AES has not stated. Your facility sets those rules, and AES works inside them.

What medical waste can AES dispose of?
AES handles hazardous medical waste from hospitals, clinics, laboratories and other healthcare institutions. Its published list includes sharps, pathological waste, pharmaceutical waste, chemical waste and low-level radioactive waste from diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
In AES’s own list:
- Sharp objects, including needles, syringes and other sharp objects
- Pathological waste
- Pharmaceutical waste, including expired, unused or contaminated drugs
- Chemical waste, such as laboratory reagents and disinfectants
- Low-level radioactive waste from diagnostic and therapeutic procedures
The service has three parts:
- Segregation and collection. AES helps with proper waste segregation at the source, and supplies specialized containers and collection.
- Treatment. AES names methods such as incineration and chemical disinfection to render hazardous medical waste safe for final disposal.
- Transportation and disposal. Licensed transportation professionals move the waste to authorized disposal facilities, following relevant regulations.
AES says it offers a same-day quote on this work and that its services are available nationwide. Read the full service page: hazardous medical waste disposal. For the broader category, see hazardous waste in the glossary and hazardous waste disposal.
What laboratory waste services does AES provide?
AES provides lab pack services, waste inventory, waste characterization, container supply and waste profiling for laboratories. It lists chemical, biological, sharps, radioactive and pharmaceutical waste, and recycles lab waste where possible.
AES describes lab pack work in four parts:
| Step | What AES says |
|---|---|
| Inventory and identification | Catalogs each substance, including unknown substances that need special characterization |
| Characterization | Determines the properties of the waste materials |
| Packaging and containers | Supplies certified containers and labels waste according to regulations |
| Waste profiles | Creates profiles with composition, handling requirements and disposal procedures |
AES then handles transportation and disposal, and says its laboratory waste services are available nationwide. The full page is laboratory waste disposal.
Can AES do abatement, mold or demolition work for a healthcare building?
AES offers asbestos, lead and mold abatement and demolition. Older hospital and clinic buildings may contain regulated materials. A survey tells you what is there before work starts.
AES publishes these points that matter to facility teams:
- Interior demolition in occupied buildings. AES says it can complete interior demolition in buildings that are occupied, and that it contains dirt, dust and debris within the work area so part of the building can remain in use. Read interior demolition.
- Containment and air testing. For interior demolition with abatement, AES says it contains the area, cleans the air and surfaces within the contained workspace, and conducts final air testing to give the work area a final approval. See the glossary entries for containment and clearance air test.
- Dust control during grinding. AES says its concrete grinding equipment is fitted with dust suppression systems, and that dust control is critical when grinding floors in medical or pharmaceutical manufacturing plants. See concrete grinding contractors.
- Asbestos and mold. See asbestos abatement, asbestos survey and mold remediation.
How these steps fit with your infection control plan is your facility’s call. Share your requirements in the quote request.
What about floors in healthcare buildings?
AES lists hospitals among the buildings that commonly choose concrete finishing and polishing. Polished concrete is low maintenance, and AES says it can be cleaned with a damp cloth or mop. Floors in older buildings can need adhesive removal and an asbestos check first.
If you plan new floors, AES offers concrete polishing, epoxy floor coatings, floor adhesive removal and moisture barriers. For the prep sequence, read our guide to concrete floor prep.
How do healthcare teams get started with AES?
Start with a call or the quote form. Tell AES what waste you generate, how much, where it is, and how often you need pickup. For project work, share the building age, the scope and any access limits.
- Call (314) 865-2662 or open /contact.
- List waste types, volumes, containers on hand and location.
- For abatement or demolition, note the building age and any survey reports.
- Share your facility’s rules on access, scheduling and records.
- Receive a quote. AES says it offers same-day quotes on waste work.
AES quotes each job. Send as much detail as you can so the quote fits.
