A healthcare facility in New Bedford 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 Massachusetts’s rules, where it is regulated as medical or biological waste. Household sharps and medicines follow separate local rules, so check with your local health department in Bristol County.

Massachusetts classifies medical waste as medical or biological waste (105 CMR 480.010, 480.020).

Not from a healthcare facility.

Household sharps follow local rules, so check Massachusetts’s household sharps guidance in Bristol County.
