A SQG is defined as a generator of infectious waste with generally three or fewer professionals in practice and generates less than 50 pounds of waste per month.

A LQG is defined as generating more than 50 pounds of waste per month.

If you generate less than 50 pounds of waste per month and qualify as a SQG then you do NOT need to submit the annual reports but you do need to keep records of all your medical waste and manifests.

In Delaware, all generators of infectious waste are required to keep a small spill clean-up kit within one hundred feet of any area infectious waste is managed. Choice MedWaste offers these kits and can include them in delivery of your boxes.

LQGs, a facility generating more than 50 pounds of waste for month, must submit annual reports no later than 90 days after the calendar year.

The reports must include description of infectious waste, weight of infectious waste, names and addresses of persons transporting the infectious waste and the names and locations being used to dispose of the infectious waste. Choice MedWaste can provide these reports.

All generators in Delaware need to register with the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Controls to receive an Infectious Waste Identification Number.
