Medical Waste Program

The objective of this program is to insure the proper management, storage and disposal of used needles and other potentially infectious medical wastes.

We conduct regular inspections of medical waste generators, including hospitals and clinics, to verify compliance with the Medical Waste Management Act.

We also investigate complaints and act as a resource to provide information to both the public and the medical industry.
