[Pharmwaste] Household definition vs prison

[Krohn. Victoria]

We inspect and permit our State Prison and County Jail each year as large quantity generators (generating 200 lbs. or more per month of medical waste).   The medical waste generated onsite at the prison or the jail, whether it comes from the inmate in their cell or the jail medclinic, we consider it to be commercially generated medical/biohazardous waste per the California Medical Waste Management Act.
Hope this helps.

To me the prison setting most closely resembles a hospital.  The cells are more akin to hospital rooms than to hotel, dorm, or bunkhouse rooms where property owners have little control over the activities of individual residents.

"Considering a prison cell block to be a 'multiple residence' or maybe a 'bunkhouse', it would be reasonable to consider it to be residential household waste.   There's no official definition, opinion, or determination to that effect, however..."

I think we would say that it's household hazardous waste, as long as it's generated by the inmate in his cell, and not, say, by a medical care provider in a prison infirmary or hospital.

How does your state classify waste generated by a state corrections prisoner in his cell? Household Waste(like residential waste) or Institutional Waste?
