New Mexico & federal RMW rules, handled.
Regulated medical waste is governed federally by OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) for worker protection and by the DOT (49 CFR) for transport. In New Mexico, state medical-waste regulations — administered by the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) — define what is regulated and how it must be contained and treated. Easy Rx Cycle's compliant containers, prepaid DOT shipping, and permitted treatment (autoclave-then-landfill or incineration) keep you compliant with all of them, documented on every order.

What counts as regulated medical waste in New Mexico?
Generally, items soaked or caked with blood or infectious material — gauze, PPE, cultures, and similar — plus sharps (handled in their own container). New Mexico's medical-waste rules define the specifics, and our guide breaks them down.
Is biohazard mail-back legal in New Mexico?
Yes — DOT-compliant RMW mail-back is legal in New Mexico when compliant packaging is used and the waste is treated at a permitted facility. Our kits meet that standard and ship prepaid both ways.
