What is RMW? Regulated medical waste (RMW), also known as âbiohazardousâ waste or 'infectious medicalâ waste, is the portion of the waste stream that may be contaminated by blood, body fluids or other potentially infectious materials, thus posing a significant risk of transmitting infection.
Technically, most medical practices do not generate any state-defined regulated medical waste. Individual tubes of blood or body fluids are almost always smaller than 20 ml. Urine, which is not considered medical waste unless it is visibly contaminated with blood or pus, may be disposed of by pouring it down the sink.
