Regulations You Need to Know

Regulated “Medical Waste“

biohazardous-waste-disposal

Medical waste is outlined in Texas Administrative Code (§326.3(23), §1.132) as the following: “treated and untreated special waste from health care-related facilities that is comprised of:

  1. Animal waste (waste from animals that have been intentionally exposed to pathogens)
  2. Bulk blood, bulk human blood, bulk human body fluids
  3. Microbiological waste
  4. Pathological waste
  5. Sharps (hypodermic needles)”

If your facility only produces “sharps”, you can rest assured that’s the majority of medical waste for facilities (~80% of our El Paso clients also only produce “sharps” as their medical waste.)

Facilities of Regulated Medical Waste

medical-waste-removal

Determining if your “facility” is required to properly dispose of your “medical waste” is a process of discerning what your facility is “not”, as per “30 TAC”:

“Health care-related facilities do not include:

(A) single or multi-family dwellings; and

(B) hotels, motels, or other establishments that provide lodging and related services for the public.”

If your facility is a “family dwelling” or an “establishment providing lodging for the public”, then follow these recommendations for safely disposing of sharps and syringes (GI-418.)

If your facility is not a “family dwelling” or an “establishment providing lodging for the public”, then you are required by law to properly dispose of medical waste.

Dispose of Regulated Medical Waste

The risks of improper medical waste disposal are clear.

The City of El Paso (Harrison County) defers proper disposal of regulated waste to “private companies available to dispose of medical wastes”.

Are there any additional fees?

Unfortunately in our industry, many companies’ quotes look low-cost, but unscrupulously, they have sneaked in hidden fees and/or have hidden ways to administer “price increases” (“PIs”) in their contracts for as much as 18% twice per year! (That would double your cost every ~4 years!)

We run an honest, fair, and ethical business, so we have no hidden fees and we guarantee we will refrain from raising our price. Period.

What is the method of disposal for medical waste?

The method of disposal for medical waste typically involves processes like incineration, autoclaving, chemical disinfection, and landfill disposal. Each method ensures safe handling and environmental responsibility. Incineration destroys hazardous waste effectively, while autoclaving uses high-pressure steam for sterilization. Chemical disinfection and landfill are also used, adhering to regulations to prevent environmental contamination and ensure public safety.

What are the guidelines for medical waste disposal in Texas?

In Texas, medical waste disposal is guided by the Texas Administrative Code. It includes materials like animal waste (from animals exposed to pathogens), bulk blood and body fluids, microbiological waste, pathological waste, and sharps. Facilities generating medical waste, particularly sharps, must manage this waste responsibly. Options include self-transporting to an authorized facility, using registered medical waste transporters, or on-site treatment following specific procedures.

Where can I dispose of sharps containers in El Paso?

In El Paso, sharps containers can be disposed of by placing them in a secure, sealed container, like a bleach bottle or coffee can, and then discarding them in the brown garbage bin. CVS and Walgreens also sell FDA-cleared red sharps containers for safe disposal of needles. It’s important to ensure that these containers are not easily opened and are puncture-proof

Where would you dispose of clinical waste?

Clinical waste is generally disposed of through specialized medical waste disposal services. These services ensure compliance with health and safety regulations, providing proper containment, transportation, and treatment of the waste.
