The EPA has not had regulatory authority over medical waste since the Medical Waste Tracking Act of 1988 expired in 1991. Most states have since developed their own programs, resulting in significant differences for each state. A summary of this state’s requirements includes the following.
Alabama's medical waste regulations are located in the Alabama Administrative Code (335-17). The regulations cover:
- 17-1 General provisions,
- 17-2 Medical waste generators,
- 17-3 Collection of medical waste,
- 17-4 Storage of medical waste,
- 17-5 Transportation of medical waste,
- 17-6 Treatment of medical waste,
- 17-7 Disposal of medical waste, and
- 17-8 Procedures for variances.
