The bags are <br />identified with appropriate "Contaminated" labels. <br />These bags are picked up by housekeeping as soon as possible. <br />Housekeeping places these bags into an enclosed Blackwelder Compactor <br />located outside the building. <br />Laboratory waste is autoclaved in the laboratory before being disposed <br />of, by housekeeping, in the compactor. <br />The Compactor is picked up by California Solid Waste Removal of Lodi <br />and taken to the County dump where the waste is buried in accord with <br />all regualtions of the San Joaquin Local Health District. The <br />compactor is then cleaned and sanitized before returning to Lodi <br />Memorial Hospital. <br />We would appreciate a letter currently approving the handling of trash, <br />including infectious waste, at Lodi Memorial Hospital. Thank you for your <br />help in this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />Walt Gentry, R.N. <br />Infection Control <br />WG: dm <br />975 South Fairmont Avenue / Post Office Box 110 / Lodi, California 95241 / (209) 334-3411 <br />
