RMW Segregation – Why and How?

In our RMW Segregation webinar, Stericycle Regulatory team members, Tim Staiano and Cara Simaga discussed the importance of properly segregating regulated medical waste (RMW) from other waste types. They emphasized that RMW, which includes items contaminated with blood and other infectious materials, must be managed according to varying state regulations. The presentation highlighted the necessity of a waste management plan to ensure compliance and proper disposal methods, including the use of sharps containers for hazardous items. Attendees were informed about the consequences of improper waste segregation, including potential fines and violations.
