Start by asking each St. Petersburg company what Florida requires of a medical waste hauler; Florida Department of Health, Biomedical Waste Program can tell you what applies. Then compare where the waste is treated, whether you receive records for every pickup, how pickups are scheduled, and what the contract says about its length and about price increases.

A healthcare facility in St. Petersburg generally cannot put regulated medical waste in the regular trash or take it to a public collection site. It is packaged, labeled and collected by a company that handles it under Florida’s rules, where it is regulated as biomedical waste. Household sharps and medicines follow separate local rules, so check with your local health department in Pinellas County.

Florida regulates medical waste as biomedical waste. The main rules are cited as §381.0098(2), F.S.; Rules 64E-16.001(2), 64E-16.002(2), (4), F.A.C.. Florida Department of Health, Biomedical Waste Program is one of the agencies that oversees them. Federal OSHA oversees workplace safety for private employers in Florida. Requirements can differ by waste type and by county or city, so confirm what applies to your St. Petersburg facility.

No, not for a healthcare facility. Sharps go into a puncture-resistant, closable, labeled or color-coded container, replaced before it overfills, and then into a collection program. Personal sharps from home have their own local options in Florida.

MedPro Disposal provides online OSHA bloodborne pathogens and HIPAA training with certification to St. Petersburg practices. OSHA requires the bloodborne pathogens training when someone is hired and at least annually after that.
