Informational Hearing - Medical Waste Incinerators
For the purpose of inviting representatives from the Department of Public
Works, the Baltimore Health Department, Baltimore City hospitals,
institutions that make use of medical waste incinerators in Baltimore City,
and any other relevant stakeholders to discuss: (1) which local hospitals
send waste to medical incinerators in Baltimore City and which local
hospitals do not; (2) what, if any, oversight mechanisms these hospitals
have in place over their hazardous waste disposal service contracts; (3)
the sustainability and environmental justice commitments local hospitals
have made and how those commitments may conflict with service contracts
the hospitals have with medical waste incineration companies that have
long histories of environmental violations; and (4) what hospitals intend to
do in the immediate future to mitigate the negative effects of their medical
waste disposal on Baltimore’s communities.
