Medical waste rules in New Hampshire

Who regulates what — in plain English.

Medical and pharmaceutical waste in New Hampshire is governed by several agencies at once. Knowing which rule applies to which waste is half the battle — and it’s exactly where we help. Here’s the landscape for New Hampshire facilities:

  • New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) — sets New Hampshire’s medical-waste definitions, container, and treatment rules.
  • OSHA — the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) protects your staff from sharps and infectious waste.
  • DOT — 49 CFR governs how waste ships; our mail-back packaging is DOT-approved (UN3291).
  • EPA / RCRA — hazardous drugs (P-, U-, D-listed) are managed under RCRA and the Subpart P standard.
  • DEA — controlled substances require non-retrievable destruction (21 CFR 1317), Form 41/222.
  • New Hampshire Board of Pharmacy — adds state licensing and recordkeeping for pharmacies and drug handlers.

We keep your New Hampshire program aligned to all of them — the right container for each stream, DOT-compliant transport, DEA-registered controlled destruction, and a documented Certificate of Destruction on every order. When rules change, we tell you.
