Can a generator of clinical waste in a scheduled area whose waste is currently collected now landfill that waste?
A. Yes, so long as the individual landfill is prepared to accept this type of waste. However, if they are using a licensed waste transporter, they would be encouraged to keep using that service. Similarly, if other options to landfilling untreated clinical waste are available, they may be preferable where the waste management hierarchy and principles are considered.
