South Carolina classifies medical waste as infectious waste (S.C. Code Regs. R.61-105 E; S.C. Code §44-93-20(A)). SC Department of Environmental Services (SCDES), Bureau of Land and Waste Management, Infectious Waste Program is one of the agencies that enforces the rules.

Your North Charleston facility may also have county or city requirements to confirm.

Household sharps follow local rules, so check South Carolina’s household sharps guidance in Charleston and Dorchester counties.
