Code for the management of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals, based on the total
hazardous waste the healthcare facility generates per calendar month (including
both hazardous waste pharmaceuticals and non-pharmaceutical hazardous waste). A
healthcare facility that generates more than one hundred kilograms (two hundred
twenty pounds) of hazardous waste per calendar month, or more than one kilogram
( 2.2 pounds) of acute hazardous waste per calendar month, or more than one
hundred kilograms (two hundred twenty pounds) per calendar month of any residue
or contaminated soil, water, or other debris, resulting from the clean-up of a
spill, into or on any land or water, of any acute hazardous wastes listed in

that is a very small quantity generator when counting all of the healthcare
facility's hazardous waste, including both hazardous waste pharmaceuticals and
non-pharmaceutical hazardous waste, remains subject to rule 3745-52-14 of the
Administrative Code and is not subject to rules 3745-266-500 to 3745-266-510 of
