Medical waste from a Tampa practice goes to a company set up to collect and treat it, not into the dumpster or to a drop-off site. Florida regulates it as biomedical waste. Waste from home use, such as personal sharps, follows separate household rules in Hillsborough County.

In Florida, the legal term is biomedical waste, and the 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 among the agencies involved. Federal OSHA oversees workplace safety for private employers in Florida. Local requirements can add to the state’s, so check what applies where your facility is in Tampa.

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.
