This waste was from Doctors Hospital in Manteca <br /> (Hospital) and consisted of medical waste in red hazardous waste bags that were <br /> concealed in regular black garbage bags and mixed with commercial waste. <br /> The City's inspector found the waste during a routine load check and immediately <br /> notified the County Health Department as required. During a meeting at the site on <br /> January 13th, the County informed representatives of the Hospital that the material <br /> must be properly contained and removed from the site by a licensed hazardous waste <br /> contractor. The Hospital hired Erickson Inc. to perform the packaging and hauling of <br /> the hazardous waste. Erickson employees, wearing protective clothing, worked from <br /> Wednesday morning till Friday morning packaging the waste in 90 gallon drums. On <br /> Friday, January 16th, the hazardous waste was removed from the landfill. In all, 156 <br /> drums were needed. <br /> Because of the liabilities involved and the types of waste this Hospital generates, the <br /> City will not be accepting waste from the Hospital until Delta Container puts into place a <br /> procedure that w�l insure that this incident is not repeated.
