The disposal of medical waste and human discharge shall be governed as follows:
(A) It shall be unlawful to dispose of any form of medical waste or human discharge without placing the same in separate container approved by the Division of Solid Waste, which container prevents third party contact with said items or waste. In the case of disposable diapers, gauze, bandages, rags or towels, tubing, cotton swabs and cotton, and other similar items, an approved container would be a sealed plastic bag or other container that prevents contact by third parties with the items contained therein.
(B) Syringes, needles, glass items, razor blades, scalpels, and other similarly sharp objects must be disposed of in a separate container approved by the Division of Solid Waste, which container cannot be penetrated by the object contained therein and it sealed by the user/customer prior to deposit in the container.
(C) In the event of a violation of this section, the Division of Solid Waste may, at its discretion, discontinue the solid waste service from the address or location where the violation occurred. This termination of solid waste services shall continue until the Division of Solid Waste, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines to resume services after it has received adequate assurance that a violation shall not occur again.
