We care about your business needs and ensure that we are in compliance with applicable Federal and State of Maine regulations. Medical waste disposal regulations are managed by the Department of Environmental Protection. Refer to the Biomedical Waste guidance document, Maine regulations of Title 38 here, and further details here.
Complete details on state requirements can be found by contacting the Maine Department of Environmental Protection.
Medical facilities generating biomedical waste are required to register with the DEP. Facilities will receive a non-transferrable, generator (shipper) registration number.
Registration fees are shown below:
Generators of LESS than 50 pounds of regulated medical waste per month are classified as Small Quantity Generators. Registration, rules, and regulations still need to be followed.
A written Biomedical Waste Management Plan (BWMP) is required for your facility and must include the following:
The plan must be made available for an inspection by Maine DEP. Your facility may be exempt if less than 50 pounds of waste per month is generated, but you must still file your registration and follow all other required rules and regulations.
