Helping You Meet New York Medical Waste Regulations
In New York, biohazardous and medical waste is regulated by the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) under the state’s Solid Waste Management Program. Regulations outline stringent requirements for medical waste generators to ensure safe handling, treatment, and disposal, including:
- Maintaining a comprehensive waste tracking document for all waste transported or disposed of, kept on record for three years.
- Segregating regulated waste into appropriately labeled and approved containers.

Understanding the Healthcare System in New York
The medical and biohazardous waste disposal regulations for New York State are managed by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Under these regulations, facilities must dispose of their waste using the following processes:
- Autoclave (our preference where possible, more green!)
- Incineration (mandatory for hazardous and pharmaceutical waste)
- Chemical disinfection
- Electro-thermal or steam-thermal inactivation
Additionally, in New York State, the generator of the waste is responsible for the proper packaging, labeling and documentation of that waste so that it can be transported off-site and disposed of.
New York’s healthcare landscape is as diverse as its cityscape. Daniels Health proudly serves facilities across the state, from major medical centers in New York City to small practices in Syracuse, Rochester and beyond.
Our local New York team manages the collection and disposal of biomedical waste in key cities, including Buffalo and Brooklyn, providing customized solutions to meet each facility’s needs.
