FAQ
Common Questions
What is regulated medical waste in Florida?
Florida Statute 381.0098 and FDOH Rule 64E-16 define regulated medical waste (RMW) as any solid or liquid waste generated in the diagnosis, treatment, or immunization of humans or animals that poses a threat of infection. This includes sharps, pathological waste, blood-contaminated materials, lab waste, and chemotherapy waste.
Which facilities must use a licensed medical waste disposal company?
Any Florida healthcare facility generating regulated medical waste must use a state-licensed transporter and treatment facility. This includes hospitals, clinics, physician offices, dental practices, veterinary clinics, urgent care centers, dialysis centers, labs, pharmacies, tattoo studios, and funeral homes.
How often does regulated medical waste need to be picked up?
Florida regulations require RMW to be stored no longer than 30 days at the generator site (7 days for quantities over 50 lbs/day). Most facilities opt for weekly or bi-weekly pickups. We offer flexible scheduling to match your waste generation volume.
What documentation do I receive after disposal?
You receive a uniform manifest at pickup and a Certificate of Destruction after final treatment. These documents are your legal proof of compliance for OSHA inspections, FDOH audits, and liability protection. We recommend retaining them for a minimum of 3 years.
Is chemotherapy waste different from regular medical waste in Florida?
Yes. Chemotherapy waste containing RCRA-listed hazardous drugs (P-listed) must be managed under EPA hazardous waste regulations in addition to Florida medical waste rules. This requires separate containers (yellow lids), different treatment pathways, and specific RCRA manifesting. Exodus handles all categories under one program.
