Section 7:26-3A.28 - Transporter acceptance of regulated medical waste

(c) When regulated medical waste is handled by more than one transporter, each subsequent transporter shall attach a water resistant identification tag below the generator's marking on the outer surface of the packaging that does not obscure the generator's or previous transporter's markings. The transporter taking possession of the shipment must ensure that the tag contains the following information:

1. The name of transporter taking possession (receiving) of the regulated medical waste;

2. The transporter's NJDEP solid waste registration number. If the transporter does not transport in New Jersey, use the permit or identification number issued by the state in which the transporter is registered. If the transporter's state does not issue a permit or identification numbers, then use the transporter's address; and

3. The date of receipt.

(d) Before accepting regulated medical waste for transport to a facility outside New Jersey, a transporter shall obtain certification from the out-of-State facility that such a facility is authorized or permitted to accept such waste by the receiving state and shall submit the certification to the Bureau of Resource Recovery and Technical Programs in the Department at the address given at N.J.A.C. 7:26-3A.8(f)4.
