Understanding California’s Medical Waste Regulations

California maintains some of the most detailed medical waste regulations in the country. The Medical Waste Management Act (MWMA) outlines strict requirements for segregation, labeling, storage, and transportation of regulated waste.

Healthcare providers and related businesses must ensure that all materials, including sharps, contaminated supplies, and pharmaceuticals, are properly packaged and labeled before disposal. Compliance is not optional; it’s essential for protecting both public health and the environment.

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) offers guidance and resources to help businesses understand and meet these regulations. MedWaste Management goes a step further by offering compliance documentation and support, helping Antioch facilities stay inspection-ready and confident that every step of their process meets the latest state requirements.

– Less than 20 pounds of biohazardous waste per month, you can store your medical waste onsite for up to 30 days.

What if we we’re scheduled for a collection but actually don’t have any waste that time?

If you don’t expect to have any medical waste for disposal when your service is scheduled to occur, give us 24 hours notice Monday through Friday and we will gladly skip that scheduled service. No service charges will apply.

What time do your pick-ups take place? What if we need a pick-up outside of your regular hours?

Most of MedWaste’s pick-ups occur between 7am and 4pm. However, MedWaste can usually accommodate facilities that need their waste collected earlier or later.

What if we need an extra pick-up between our scheduled pick-up times?

If you need an extra pick-up between your scheduled pick-up times, we are happy and able to help. Simply call or email us and we’ll quickly schedule your extra pick-up . Standard service charges will apply.
MedWaste is flexible and we try to meet the individual scheduling needs of each of our customers.

Are there circumstances when a facility must remove waste more frequently?

Odor and storage considerations may require that you remove your waste more frequently.

What is a tracking document and how does it work?

In California, medical waste is tracked using approved documentation from the point of its creation until its treatment for disposal. MedWaste uses approved electronic medical waste tracking documents, a superb and compliant way to easily and accurately track medical waste.

When your medical waste is collected, our driver and your customer rep will sign a state-approved electronic tracking document on the driver’s mobile device. The electronic tracking document details the amounts and types of medical waste collected at that time. As soon as the tracking document is signed, it will be sent to you by email. It will also be permanently stored on your Compliance Program account, so you can view and print it at anytime.

When your medical waste is dropped off for treatment and disposal, you will be sent, and have access to, the updated tracking document that has the added signature of the treatment facility’s representative. The invoice that you receive for service (by mail or email), will detail the waste that was collected, and attest to, and certify, its proper treatment and destruction.

At any time you can view, download and print your past medical waste tracking documents by logging in to your Compliance Program. Your compliance program username and password are sent to you as soon as your account is created, and can be resent by request.
