Medical Waste Disposal Owensboro, KY

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.

There are, however, regulations that reference the characterization, treatment, handling, labeling and storage, transport and disposal of this type of waste.

They are intended to protect personnel, the public and the environment from exposure, injury or contamination of potentially infectious wastes.

Two or three quotes on the same terms will show the real differences.
