Infectious waste and hazardous wastes all fall under the purview of governing bodies in Indiana to ensure that across all aspects of waste generating, packaging and disposal, humans and the environment are protected. Infectious waste is defined by the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) rules (410 IAC 1-3-10) and Indiana code IC 16-41-16-4 as any waste capable of transmitting a dangerous communicable disease. According to these same regulations, infectious waste generators and those who provide services to those same generators are responsible for cradle-to-grave care of the waste which includes proper containment, correct labelling and the effective treatment, transport and disposal.

At MCF we have been supporting Indiana healthcare facilities, laboratories and small businesses with infectious and hazardous waste management services for the past 30 years. Abiding by the hazardous waste disposal rules set out by the Office of Land Quality of the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) and those set out by the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), we are permitted to transport and treat the more than 400 hazardous waste listed by the IDEM including commercial chemical products and universal wastes.

Indiana requirements specify that any facility that generates solid waste must make a correct determination as to whether that waste is hazardous to comply with RCRA hazardous waste handling and treatment requirements. Furthermore, facilities that generate certain quantities of hazardous waste must register with U.S. EPA/IDEM, and will be subject to inspections. This seems like a lot of hoops! But we promise it doesn’t have to be difficult, our expert hazardous waste team will help you navigate the requirements applicable to your facility in the simplest possible way.
