Input Needed on Infectious/Medical Waste Management

The Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is revising the infectious waste management section of the state solid waste regulations and is looking for input from rural stakeholders to assist in developing best medical practices and to inform the process. Stakeholder meetings will be held monthly from October 2010-April 2011 (with audio conferencing available). Infectious waste/medical waste generators from rural communities are encouraged to participate in these meetings and/or provide written comments.
