Medical waste generators in Alabama, from UAB-affiliated practices in Birmingham to rural critical access hospitals in the Black Belt region, face new compliance obligations following Alabama’s comprehensive 2025 regulatory update.

Generators who have not reviewed their medical waste disposal program since early 2025 may be out of alignment with current ADEM standards.
