State Guidelines for Utah
The Utah Department of Environmental Quality has issued the following guidelines for household-generated sharps: Infectious waste generated by home health care activities is not regulated by state rules. Local health departments may have rules that differ from the state rules. Please contact the local health department in your area for specific rules. However, the following procedures should be followed to minimize the potential risk from exposure to infectious waste: isolate sharps in leak-proof, rigid, puncture-resistant containers such as a plastic soft drink bottle, a plastic milk bottle, or a sharps container commercially available. When the container is full of sharps, the lid should be tightly secured and taped on. The sharps container may then be placed in the regular household waste container for curbside collection.
