New York & 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 York, state medical-waste regulations — administered by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) — 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.
