§ 117680 Large Quantity Medical Waste Generator

• •A 'large quantity generator' is a place that makes a lot of medical waste, like hospitals or clinics.
• •If a place makes 200 pounds or more of medical waste in any month of the year, they are called a 'large quantity generator'.
• •This does not include people who clean up after accidents or crimes (trauma scene waste management practitioners).

A hospital produces 250 pounds of medical waste in March.

Because the hospital made more than 200 pounds of medical waste in one month, they are considered a 'large quantity generator' for the whole year.
