Connecticut Medical Waste Management | Medical & Biohazardous Waste Disposal
Daniels Health has been providing Medical Waste Management Services to Connecticut hospitals and healthcare facilities for over 15 years
Where there are research facilities paving the way for medical breakthroughs there is biohazardous and medical waste. Connecticut’s regulations are overseen by the DEEP (Department of Energy & Environmental Protection). In addition to these regulations, Connecticut also operates under OSHA. In Connecticut medical waste is referred to as biomedical waste (BMW). The DEEP defines BMW as “infectious, pathological and/or chemotherapy waste generated during the administration of medical care or the performance of medical research involving humans or animals.”

Hartford, the state’s capital is littered with stunning parks, is home to Wadsworth Athenaeum one of America’s oldest art museums, The Connecticut State Capitol, now a national historic landmark and the Connecticut Science Center.
Fans of American literature come to visit the Neo-Gothic mansion that was once Mark Twain’s home. Now a museum featuring thousands of artifacts from the author’s life including the desk where he penned “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.” Across the street is the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center, also a national landmark where she wrote the 1852 novel “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Situated on Long Island Sound, Stamford is an eclectic city; the downtown area is brimming with restaurants, clubs, live theaters and galleries. The largest city in Connecticut, Bridgeport, is a historic seaport also known as “Park City” and is famous for having over 1,300 acres of public park access along the coast.
The First Presbyterian Church known to locals as the “Fish Church” due to its unusual shape and interior which is made up from 20,000 pieces of glass in 86 colors is also popular with visitors. Or experience a local institution with “Alive @ 5 in Stamford,” where every Thursday various artists perform at Columbus Park. New Haven is the birthplace of the “hamburger” and Louis’ Lunch still serves those famous burgers today. The city is also home to the prestigious Ivy League university – Yale.

Connecticut Red Bag Waste Guidelines 
Clarification of definitions regarding medical waste streams is important. The state of Connecticut places a special importance on handling, storage, transportation and disposal of infectious waste. In the state of Connecticut, biohazard waste not only means infectious, but pathological and/or chemotherapy waste. These waste streams are typically generated during medical care processes or medical research that involve humans or animals.
Daniels Health encourages all hospital or medical waste generators to refer to Connecticut state agencies for regulations. For example:
- Sections 22a-209b,c of Connecticut’s General Statutes (CGS)
- Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP)
Ensuring your facility complies with these rigid requirements can be challenging, unless you engage a qualified biomedical waste company, that’s where Daniels is here to help. For biomedical waste regulations, refer to the Regulations of Connecticut State agencies, sections 22a-209-15. Biomedical waste, seek out the numerous resources available in the portal of the state governments Department of Energy Environmental Protection. or explore our guide on biomedical waste handling here:
