§ 117640 Medical Waste Storage Rules

• •A 'common storage facility' is a special place on-site where small businesses can keep medical waste together.
• •This place is only for small businesses that don't usually work together.
• •The waste must be picked up by a registered hazardous waste hauler.

A small clinic and a dentist office next door share a special bin in the parking lot for their medical waste.

They can put their medical waste in this shared bin because they are small businesses and the waste will be picked up by a special trash company that handles dangerous waste.
