Ohio EPA, Division of Materials and Waste Management is a good place to confirm the state’s requirements.

Where can I dispose of medical waste in Akron?
Medical waste from an Akron practice goes to a company set up to collect and treat it, not into the dumpster or to a drop-off site. Ohio regulates it as infectious wastes. Waste from home use, such as personal sharps, follows separate household rules in Summit County.
What are the medical waste rules in Ohio?
Ohio classifies medical waste as infectious wastes (R.C. 3734.01(R); OAC 3745-570-01(E), 3745-570-100(F)). Ohio EPA, Division of Materials and Waste Management is one of the agencies that enforces the rules. Federal OSHA oversees workplace safety for private employers in Ohio. Your Akron facility may also have county or city requirements to confirm.
Can I throw sharps in the regular trash in Akron?
Not from a healthcare facility. OSHA’s bloodborne pathogens standard requires contaminated sharps to go into closable, puncture-resistant, leakproof, labeled or color-coded containers, which are then collected for treatment. Household sharps follow local rules, so check Ohio’s household sharps guidance in Summit County.
