Jan 1 2020 Biohazard Waste Requirements

Florida requires Licensed Acupuncturists offices to be Biomedical Waste Generators.  The details vary by county.  Here is their overview

“All commercial facilities that produce sharps or other biomedical waste are required to obtain an annual permit from the County Health Department of jurisdiction. After 12 months of operation, any facility that has produced less than 25 pounds of biomedical waste each month may apply for exemption from the permit fee at the next permit renewal period. “
