Regulated “Medical Waste“
Regulated “Medical Waste“
Medical waste is outlined in California Administrative Code (§117690) as: “any biohazardous, pathology, pharmaceutical, or trace chemotherapy waste not regulated by the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (Public Law 94-580), as amended; sharps and trace chemotherapy wastes generated in a health care setting in the diagnosis, treatment, immunization, or care of humans or animals; waste generated in autopsy or necropsy; waste generated during preparation of a body for final disposition such as cremation or interment; waste generated in research pertaining to the production or testing of microbiologicals; waste generated in research using human or animal pathogens; sharps and laboratory waste that poses a potential risk of infection to humans generated in the inoculation of animals in commercial farming operations; waste generated from the consolidation of home-generated sharps; and waste generated in the cleanup of trauma scenes. Biohazardous, pathology, pharmaceutical, sharps, and trace chemotherapy wastes that meet the conditions of this section are not subject to any of the hazardous waste requirements found in Chapter 6.5 (commencing with Section 25100) of Division 20.”
If your facility only produces “sharps”, you can rest assured that’s the majority of medical waste for facilities (~80% of our Anaheim clients also only produce “sharps” as their medical waste.)

Fun Fact About Anaheim!
Anaheim, famously known for being the home of Disneyland Resort, has a less known but equally intriguing facet – it was originally founded by fifty German families in 1857 and incorporated as the second city in Los Angeles County in 1876. These families established a wine-making industry in the area, leveraging the Mediterranean-like climate. By the late 19th century, Anaheim had developed into a thriving rural community filled with orange and lemon groves, making a significant shift from vineyards to citrus farming due to a disease that wiped out the vineyards, shaping much of its early economy and cultural landscape.
