§ 118170 Medical Waste Permit Renewal

• •A permit for a place that handles medical waste lasts for 5 years.
• •To keep the permit, you must ask to renew it at least 90 days before it expires.
• •If you don’t ask to renew on time, the permit expires and you can’t use it anymore.

A hospital has a permit to handle medical waste, and it’s about to expire in 6 months.

The hospital must ask to renew the permit at least 90 days (3 months) before it expires. If they wait until 2 months before, it’s too late, and the permit will expire.
