Lexington, Kentucky is a city of about 300,000 people in the heart of “bluegrass country” and is home to the University of Kentucky College of Medicine as well as Central Baptist Hospital and St. Joseph Hospital.

One common by-product of almost every medical facility is medical waste. Also called biomedical waste and biohazardous waste, the collection, transportation, and disposal of medical waste is a serious element of the healthcare industry. Due to its potential to be dangerous or even deadly, only trained, experienced, licensed, and insured service providers may handle medical waste.

In Kentucky the Division of Waste Management under the Department of Environmental Protection regulates the collection, transportation, and disposal of medical waste, and details can be found at their website.

Medical waste in simple terms is any waste that may be contaminated by blood, bodily fluids, or potentially infectious materials. Although the EPA does provide some oversight of medical waste storage and disposal, the majority of medical waste is regulated on a state or local level. In Kentucky, there are no specific regulations pertaining to medical waste and there is no one agency with jurisdiction over medical waste. There are, however, regulations that reference the characterization, treatment, handling, labeling and storage, transport and disposal of this type of waste. These state regulations overlap between environmental, public health, labor and transportation agencies. They are intended to protect personnel, the public and the environment from exposure, injury or contamination of potentially infectious wastes.
