Florida's Biomedical Waste Program

There are approximately 38,000 facilities in Florida that generate biomedical waste. The objective of Florida's biomedical waste program is to protect health care workers, environmental-service staff, waste haulers, and the general public from risks associated with potentially infectious biomedical waste.
Both the Department of Health and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection have responsibilities under this program. The Department of Environmental Protection has primary responsibility for biomedical waste incineration and final disposal. The Department of Health has primary authority and responsibility for facilities that generate, transport, store, or treat biomedical waste through processes other than incineration.
The 1993 Florida Legislature provided funding for the Biomedical Waste Program from the Solid Waste Management Trust Fund. Additional funding is provided through the annual registration of biomedical waste transporters and the annual permitting of storage and treatment facilities plus those generating facilities that produce at least 25 pounds of biomedical waste in any 30-day period of the year. About 25,000 such facilities are inspected annually. However, the approximately 14,000 generating facilities that produce less than 25 pounds of biomedical waste in each 30-day period of the year are exempt from permitting and from the permit fee, and are inspected
