Illinois Medical Waste Requirements and Regulations
We care about your business needs and ensure that we are in compliance with applicable Federal and State of Illinois regulations.

• Segregation and disposal of recyclable wastes (paper products, glass, batteries, metals) in accordance with regulations
• Segregation and disposal of non-recyclable wastes (polyvinyl chloride plastics, pharmaceutical waste, mercury-containing waste) in accordance with regulations
Your facility’s storage of potentially infectious medical waste must comply with the following regulations:
• Lock outdoor storage areas
