An apparatus for the treatment of medical waste, including solid and non-solid materials, permits the collection of such medical waste at the point and at the time of its generation in a solid container. The contained medical waste can be subsequently transported for pulverization, decontamination and safe disposal. A separate portable processing chamber, with an integral means to treat medical waste, can be used at locations remote from its power unit for the collection of medical waste and then moved to the location of the power unit to drive the waste-treatment means within the chamber. The separate portable processing chamber includes a rotating waste treatment system that is rotatably carried within the chamber, a plurality of pivotable blades that are carried by rotatable axle pins within a plurality of slots formed in the rotating system, a ring carried by the rotating system to prevent deleterious collections of waste materials, and a plurality of baffle bars are located interiorly of the chamber for preferential treatment of soft and non-soft medical waste material during operation.
