§ 118025 Medical Waste Hauling Rules

• •Medical waste must be moved by special approved people or companies.
• •Only registered hazardous waste haulers or the US Postal Service can do this job.
• •Some small or big places that make a little waste can get special permission to move it themselves.

A doctor's office has old needles and bandages they need to throw away.

They can't just toss it in the trash. They have to call a special trash company that knows how to handle medical waste safely, or they might get in trouble.
