| E7-7816 | Revised Standards for Mailing Sharps Waste and Other Regulated Medical Waste | Proposed Rule | The Postal Service<SUP>TM</SUP> is proposing to revise the mailing standards for medical waste so that medical professionals can more easily use the mail to ship waste to disposal sites. For over 15 years we have safely permitted approved vendors to use the mail for return of sharps and other regulated medical waste for disposal. Under our current standards, mail-back medical waste containers are most often used by individuals who self-inject medications to control diseases such as diabetes and arthritis. By increasing the maximum allowable weight of medical waste mail-back containers and at the same time requiring additional packaging safeguards, we intend to provide small medical offices the option of using the mail for sending medical waste for disposal. This proposal would allow medical professionals a safe, easy, and cost-effective means of disposing of sharps and other regulated medical waste. | 2007-04-25 | 2007 | 4 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2007/04/25/E7-7816/revised-standards-for-mailing-sharps-waste-and-other-regulated-medical-waste | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2007-04-25/pdf/E7-7816.pdf | Postal Service | 410 | The Postal Service<SUP>TM</SUP> is proposing to revise the mailing standards for medical waste so that medical professionals can more easily use the mail to ship waste to disposal sites.
