About this file
This document is a policy statement from the Massachusetts Department of Corrections regarding the proper disposal of liquid and solid waste at a correctional facility. The policy outlines procedures for the collection, storage, and disposal of solid, liquid, medical, and hazardous waste. Solid waste is removed from inmate living areas three times per day and brought to a trash compactor for disposal by a private vendor on a predetermined schedule. Liquid waste from meals is disposed of using a kitchen garbage disposal, and administrative area waste is handled by the facility's Building and Grounds staff. Medical waste is stored in a locked room and removed regularly by a contracted medical waste disposal company. Hazardous waste is disposed of as needed by a private vendor under contract. Additionally, grease and fat from the kitchen is stored in containers and removed by a contracted vendor.
The policy ensures the proper disposal of waste to prevent the transmission of disease, creation of nuisance, and the breeding of insects and rodents, in accordance with state and federal standards.
