Medical Waste Pickup
Rejection Checklist

The bright yellow rejection checklists will be utilized by Environmental Services (EVS) staff across all UTMB campuses to assist with the proper packing and handling of medical waste.

The checklists will also explain the reason(s) why a particular box was not picked up.

For questions or clarifications, please contact Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) at (409) 747-0515 and ask for Environmental Protection Management (EPM).
