A Large Quantity Generator (LQG) generates more than 200 pounds per month of medical waste. Both types of generators must be regulated and monitored, especially those that generate hazardous waste, such as regulated medical waste. Medical waste can pose dangers such as stick-wounds and puncture wounds, exposure to infectious waste, and more. This regulated waste must often be treated with various methods such as chlorine disinfection, heat disinfection, other types of chemical disinfection, the use of leak-proof containers, and more. The Texas Municipal Solid Waste Medical-Waste Generator Checklist app features a helpful waste management resource by bringing together a range of different checklist items to cover regulations and requirements for medical waste generators that are generating hazardous waste. The checklist features the sections: Manifesting, Packaging, Storage, and Off-Site Transport of Medical Waste for Treatment or Disposal. These sections walk users through requirements to promote occupational health and reduce the risk of hazards to waste management workers, healthcare professionals, and the community-at-large. Solid waste facility managers and inspectors can use the Texas Municipal Solid Waste Medical-Waste Generator Checklist app to assess medical waste disposal criteria, list violations, and offer additional comments and feedback to improve solid waste management programs.

“I’m not a tech guy and I was able to pick this thing up in probably an hour, and actually start to build apps. I’ve done them over lunch when I’ve gotten frustrated with a process that didn’t exist in our company. So for non tech people who’ve got a problem, the support here is awesome and I’d recommend it to anybody, not just in our industry.”
