Alaska\u2019s medical waste disposal regulations are managed by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation. The state\u2019s solid waste regulations state that medical waste shall be managed in a way that prevents the spread of disease. The owner or operator of a permitted municipal solid waste landfill facility or industrial solid waste monofill may accept medical waste that has been treated according to the manufacturer\u2019s instructions: In an autoclave, by a decontamination process other than an autoclave, or in a medical waste incinerator. The municipality of Anchorage has its own\u00a0medical waste management policy.<\/p>\n
In addition to the state medical waste environmental regulations there are some Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rules that apply to medical\/infectious waste. Alaska is one of 21 states operating an approved occupational safety and health program. This program is operated by the Division of Labor Standards and Safety.<\/p>\n
