The Department of Health regulates treatment methods, other than incineration, and commercial facilities that produce, transport, or store biomedical waste under the authority of Chapter 64E-16 of the Florida Administrative Code.
All facilities that transport and/or store or collect biomedical waste, other than what they produce themselves, must obtain an annual storage permit. Transporters, who hold biomedical waste on their truck no more than 72 hours, are exempt from a storage permit.
Permits for onsite storage facilities are issued by the County Health Department having jurisdiction for the area where storage facility is located. We issue permits for those facilities located in Orange County. Annual permit fees are $85.00 and the annual permit year begins October 1st. Storage facilities are inspected annually.
