Medical Waste Disposal
What is Medical Waste?
It is a common and costly mistake to treat medical waste simply as solid waste. As waste administrators know, it is illegal to dispose of medical waste at solid waste permitted landfills. Therefore, realizing what medical waste management entails is important. Regulated medical waste is a broad category that includes, but is not limited to, any solid waste generated from hospitals, clinics, dental offices and veterinary facilities. It pertains to waste yielded by treatment, research, production and/or testing of biological materials also referred to as "red bag waste".
Any materials that have come in contact with, or contain blood, bodily fluids, diseased tissue or infections have micro organisms. This waste is also referred to as "infectious waste" and includes pathological waste, single use disposable items and discarded sharp objects (i.e. needles, scalpels or broken instruments). It is critically important to dispose of these waste materials properly.
