 EGLE to host August 21st webinar on
hazardous waste rule changes affecting
healthcare facilities and e-cigarette retailers
Register now to join the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), on August 21st for a webinar covering recent hazardous waste rule changes specific to:
- Healthcare facilities generating hazardous waste pharmaceuticals (HWP).
- Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDs) retailers generating unwanted ENDS.
The new rules require existing facilities subject to, or opting into, the new rules to notify EGLE of the facility's status using the EQP 5150 Form. Anyone registering for the webinar will receive an email sharing the webinar recording and a copy of the presentation. See the updated Handling Pharmaceuticals and their Containers in Healthcare and new Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals and Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems guidance and join us to get your questions answered.
As of May 5, 2025, the effective date of the new rules, pharmaceuticals can no longer be managed as a universal waste in Michigan. The universal waste designation was rescinded as required under the federal rulemaking. Join us for this webinar to learn who is subject, the pros and cons of opting in, how to notify, and what handling and disposal requirements must be met under the new rules.
