Under normal circumstances, medical waste disposal must adhere to local health regulations due to potential infections risks posed by improper disposal. However, if the volume of medical waste exceeds the capacity of regular municipal solid waste collection services and/or incineration systems, alternative methods or facilities might have to be considered. These could include using anaerobic digestion for more effective pathogen inactivation or shipping the waste out of state to specialised facilities which handle large volumes more effectively.

You will likely need to research specific local, state and federal regulations regarding medical waste disposal for restaurants. Depending on the laws in your area, you may be able to contract with an outside company to dispose of the medical waste for you, or potentially find an off-site location where you can place sharps containers and other types of waste that qualify as medical waste.
