Medical waste from a Murfreesboro practice goes to a company set up to collect and treat it, not into the dumpster or to a drop-off site. Tennessee regulates it as medical wastes. Waste from home use, such as personal sharps, follows separate household rules in Rutherford County.

Tennessee classifies medical waste as medical wastes (Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0400-11-01-.01(2) (“Medical wastes,” “Special Wastes”), as amended eff. July 15, 2025). Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), Division of Land Protection, Waste Management Branch is one of the agencies that enforces the rules. TOSHA, Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development oversees workplace safety rules in Tennessee. Your Murfreesboro facility may also have county or city requirements to confirm.

No, not for a healthcare facility. Sharps go into a puncture-resistant, closable, labeled or color-coded container, replaced before it overfills, and then into a collection program. Personal sharps from home have their own local options in Tennessee.
