Medical Waste Compliance Management
The EPA recognizes 4 categories of waste which require different disposal procedures:
- General Waste: General commercial waste, including paper and plastic packaging, glass, wood, and other commonly used materials can be disposed of like any other municipal solid waste.
- Infectious Waste: This includes blood, blood vessels, body parts, dressings, bandages, scalpels, sharps, and needles. Anything contaminated with fluids from the human body or an infectious agent, including liquid biohazardous waste, must be disposed of in an appropriate container or red bag marked with a biohazard symbol.
- Hazardous Waste: This type of waste includes needles and syringes that are not in contact with biological materials and are not infectious. Broken glass and pharmaceutical waste are considered hazardous, as are some types of chemicals used in surgical centers and physician’s practices.
- Radioactive Waste: Waste generated from cancer treatments, chemotherapy, and medical equipment that uses nuclear elements. Proper waste disposal requires strict compliance services and recordkeeping in case of a medical waste management
