    Storage Duration:
    • Refrigerated Waste: Medical waste must be disposed of within 90 days if it is stored at a temperature of 32°F (0°C) or lower.
    • Non-Refrigerated Waste: Medical waste cannot be stored for more than 7 days if it is not refrigerated.

    Pickup Schedules:
    • Assisted living facilities typically arrange for waste pickup based on their volume of waste generation. Facilities generating small amounts of waste may schedule pickups less frequently than high-volume generators.
    • A licensed medical waste hauler, such as MET-Bio or other compliant service providers, usually assists with a regular pickup schedule.

    Recordkeeping:
    • Facilities are required to maintain tracking documents for all medical waste removed by a licensed hauler.
    • Records must be retained for at least 3 years for inspection by regulatory agencies.

    Compliance Inspections:
    • Facilities should ensure compliance with OSHA, DOT, and local public health department requirements, as these may impact schedules or processes.
