Ohio Medical Waste Disposal

Ohio is the heart of Midwestern America. Seven U.S. presidents were born in the “Buckeye State,” along with famous Americans Neil Armstrong, Thomas A. Edison, Charles Goodyear and Jesse Owens. The Wright Brothers, inventors of the first airplane, were born in Dayton. Two of America’s favorite things, baseball and rock and roll music, are also part of Ohio’s history. The Cincinnati Reds were the country’s first professional baseball team and Cleveland is home to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Don’t let medical waste ruin your All-American state!
