[Pharmwaste] Household definition vs prison

[Zimmer, Catherine (PSC)]

Hi Jennifer and all,
Just a clarification on CESQG waste in MN.  CESQG can transport HW in their own vehicle with a bill of lading to a CESQG collection site.
Very truly yours,

EPA considers HW generated from prisons to be institutional waste, so we go by that. If the prison is a CESQG, disposal requirements may be less restrictive in some states (like maybe they can use HH collection kiosks for HW pharms). In MN, CESQG's have to manage their HW just like any other larger generator--with a HW transporter to a HW facility.

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?
