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:
Initial registration fee of $50 per facility
An annual assessment fee is charged based on the average amount of Biomedical Waste the facility produces each month
Annual fees are determined by the amount of RMW generated:
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.

Description of waste, type, and volume
Handling procedures (location of storage areas, etc.)

RMW may be sent to a treatment facility via USPS
