A healthcare facility in Augusta 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 Maine’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 Kennebec County.

Maine classifies medical waste as biomedical waste (06-096 CMR ch. 900, §§ 6(C), 7). Maine DEP, Bureau of Remediation and Waste Management is one of the agencies that enforces the rules. Federal OSHA oversees workplace safety for private employers in Maine. Your Augusta facility may also have county or city requirements to confirm.

An Augusta practice should not. Contaminated needles and blades belong in puncture-resistant, leakproof, labeled or color-coded sharps containers under OSHA’s bloodborne pathogens standard, and the full containers are collected for treatment. Sharps from home use are handled differently, so check your local household rules in Kennebec County.
