What happens to medical waste in York County?
Medical waste generated in York County is transported out of the county to other licensed medical waste management facilities. YCSWA adopted a medical waste management plan that concluded that all medical waste capacity needs are currently being met by the generators who have made their own arrangements for proper disposal. This plan was developed in cooperation with York County’s medical community and will periodically be revisited to ensure that capacity continues to be available for this waste stream. YCSWA also licenses all haulers of medical waste operating in York County.
