Rhode Island Hazardous & Medical Waste Registration

Unlike most states, the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM) requires both hazardous and medical waste generators to register for a generator identification number. This number will accompany all shipments of medical waste leaving your facility. It will also be listed on your medical waste transporters annual report to the RI DEM.

Medical waste may not be transported without a generator ID number. Any transporter that accepts your waste and transports it without the number is in violation of state law, placing their license in jeopardy and leaving you susceptible to serious penalties.

  • Hazardous Waste Generator Status A person who generates ANY hazardous waste, regardless of quantity is considered a Hazardous Waste Generator (waste generated by homeowners in private homes is exempt).
  • Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (CESQG) Status CESQGs generate less than 220 lbs of hazardous waste per month and may accumulate up to 2,200 lbs for no more than 365 days.
