Specimen cultures and cultures of infectious agents must either be treated on site by an approved infectious waste treatment method or taken by a registered transporter to a licensed treatment facility. Must keep a record of the amount of infectious waste generated each calendar month. This record is called a monthly infectious waste generation log (MIWGlog). Place all sharps into a sharps container, which has the word sharps on it. If the container is disposed of with normal trash, the container must be labelled with the international biohazard symbol. Untreated liquid IW containing blood and/or body fluids may be poured down a sanitary sewer system. This liquid IW must be quantified and entered into the MIWGlog. Please note: Untreated cultures of infectious agents may NOT be disposed down a sanitary sewer system. IW mixed with hazardous or radioactive waste must follow hazardous or radioactive waste handling and disposal regulations. Must register as a large generator of infectious waste if 50 pounds of infectious waste is generated in any one calendar month. A large generator registration application form may be obtained by contacting the Infectious Waste Unit at (614) OPTION: Small generators may take their infectious vvaste. other than cultures. to a hospital at which they have staff privileges.
