About this file
This document is a policy for the disposal of liquid and solid waste at a state correctional institution in Massachusetts. The policy outlines procedures for the collection, storage, and disposal of solid waste, liquid waste, medical waste, hazardous waste, and grease/fat from the facility. Solid waste is removed from inmate living areas three times per day, transferred to a trash compactor, and then disposed of by a private vendor on a scheduled basis. Liquid waste, primarily from meal preparation, is disposed of using a garbage disposal. Medical waste is stored in a locked room and removed by a contracted medical waste disposal company. Hazardous waste and grease/fat are also disposed of by private vendors under contract.
The document references a related state and local contract opportunity for a Wascomat ironer, which appears to be a separate procurement process. No additional details are provided about that contract opportunity within this document.
