Maryland regulates medical waste as special medical waste. The main rules are cited as COMAR 26.13.11.02B, 26.13.11.03. Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE), Solid Waste Program is one of the agencies that oversees them. Maryland Occupational Safety and Health (MOSH) oversees workplace safety rules in Maryland. Requirements can differ by waste type and by county or city, so confirm what applies to your Germantown 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 Maryland.
