A.
All medical facilities shall exclude all medical waste
from all solid waste to be collected as part of the regular solid
waste collection service within the Borough of Madison. The operator
of such medical facility shall be responsible, at his or her own cost
and expense, for making separate contractual arrangements for the
collection and disposal of all medical waste in a lawful manner, which
may require separate arrangements for infectious and noninfectious
medical waste.
B.
The foregoing exclusion of medical waste from all
other solid waste shall not apply to waste such as diapers, pill vials
and bandages generated by an individual residential household; provided,
however, that it shall be unlawful for medical waste from a medical
facility to be included with any solid waste placed for collection
at a residence or any other location as part of the regular solid
waste collection service within the Borough of Madison.
The collection of nonmedical waste from medical facilities shall be provided in accordance with the applicable solid waste collection contract provided for by § 107-2B of this chapter; provided, however, that as a condition of such collection of nonmedical waste, the collection contractor may impose additional requirements, such as but not limited to the provision by the operator of a medical facility of satisfactory proof and/or a certification that separate contractual arrangements have been made for the collection and disposal of all medical waste from the medical facility and that no medical waste will be included with the nonmedical solid waste.
Any person who fails to exclude medical waste
from solid waste collected as part of the normal solid waste collection
service within the Borough in contravention of the requirements of
this chapter shall be liable for any additional costs imposed upon
the Borough in connection with the disposal of said medical waste.
