A healthcare facility in Watertown 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 South Dakota’s rules, where it is regulated as medical/infectious waste. Household sharps and medicines follow separate local rules, so check with your local health department in Codington County.
