A healthcare facility in Ann Arbor 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 Michigan’s rules, where it is regulated as medical waste. Household sharps and medicines follow separate local rules, so check with your local health department in Washtenaw County.

Michigan classifies medical waste as medical waste (MCL 333.13805(8), 333.13807; R 325.1541). EGLE, Medical Waste Regulatory Program is one of the agencies that enforces the rules. MIOSHA, Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration oversees workplace safety rules in Michigan. Your Ann Arbor facility may also have county or city requirements to confirm.

Not from a healthcare facility.
