Regulated Medical Waste

Regulated Medical Waste

Any container with the universal biohazard symbol (above) on it is considered regulated medical waste. Please first confirm that the waste being generated is actually regulated medical waste then place the waste into the appropriate containers. Once waste is ready to be collected, including sharps containers and any regulated medical waste bag or container that is properly labeled and sealed, they are to be brought to Student Health Services, located in Eickhoff Hall Room 107, where you will be asked to identify the waste (i.e. sharps containers, etc.) and weight of the materials. This information is collected in order to track the waste and fill out an annual report to the NJDEP.

Student, faculty, or staff at home use regulated medical waste can be handled through their personal doctor who has prescribed the needles and/or sharp’s containers. Please see the NJDEP for additional information. NJDEP_At home RMW generators
