Hazardous Waste Management
Expertise in Arkansas

MCF Environmental Services have been serving medical clinics, laboratories, education institutions and local businesses for more than 30 years, offering specialist waste collection and disposal services for hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams.

Strict guidelines govern hazardous wastes in Arkansas. In 1979, the Arkansas Pollution Control & Ecology Commission developed the Arkansas Waste Management act with the explicit purpose of protecting the public from improper hazardous waste disposal practices. This act governs the management and disposition of hazardous wastes, used oils, and universal wastes.

For hospitals and patient care clinics that generate medical waste, any such wastes that meet the definition of "hazardous waste", or which are mixed with hazardous wastes shall be managed as hazardous waste in accordance with the ADEQ's Hazardous Waste Management Code, Regulation 23. Segregation of medical waste must be made into containers in compliance with the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030.

What does this mean for Arkansas healthcare facilities, manufacturers and small businesses that generate hazardous waste? Firstly, that you need to be aware of the identification, accumulation, labelling, storage and disposal requirements of the hazardous waste types your facility is generating (including universal waste), and secondly you must have a hazardous waste partner who has adequate insurances and expertise to be able to transport and treat your waste.
