[Pharmwaste] Household definition vs prison

[William Yeman]

  Fred,

Instead of a hospital, do you think a closer fit would be a long-term
care facility?


[EPA has said that residents in long-term care facilities enjoy the
household waste exclusion (12/2/08 FR p 73525).]

p.MsoNormal {margin-left:3.0pt;} 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?
