§ 118230 Hazardous Waste Incinerator Medical Waste

• •If you run a special trash-burning place for dangerous waste, you can also burn medical waste there.
• •You need a special permission (permit) to do this.
• •This rule was added in 1995 and started in 1996.

A hospital has old bandages and needles it needs to throw away.

The hospital can send this medical trash to a special burning place that already burns dangerous waste, but only if that place has the right permit.
