§ A198-10. Disposal of biohazardous wastes.


Latest version.
  • A. 
    Any used personal protective equipment (PPE) will be considered biohazardous waste. This PPE must be placed in the proper biohazardous bags and properly labeled. If an ambulance is at the scene, ask if they will take the waste for proper disposal. Another source of disposal will be the Medical Center of Beaver County.
    B. 
    Contaminated laundry shall be handled as little as possible. It should be bagged in the location where it was used and shall not be sorted or rinsed in that location. All contaminated laundry will be shipped to an off-site laundry facility in bags or containers that are properly labeled. Woodlawn Laundry in Aliquippa is equipped to handle these materials.
