Medical waste treatment contract

Medical waste treatment contract

The Ministry of Health has established an obligation for all licensees in the field of medical practice: to submit updated information, including information about the contract for the processing of medical waste, by July 8, 2026. And it is not just about the availability of a document. The Ministry of Health requires clear details of the contract: date of conclusion, contract number, validity period, full details of the counterparty. This block is one of the most critical during inspections today. Lawyers “Prikhodko and Partners” will provide a legal analysis of the concept of medical waste, the rules for its handling, and will provide key aspects of the contract for the processing of medical waste.

What is considered medical waste and why is it critical?

Medical waste is not ordinary garbage. This is waste generated during:

  • diagnosis, treatment, prevention of diseases and medical care
  • patient care
  • conducting studies and expertise in the field of health care
  • veterinary practice and veterinary medicine

They belong to subgroup 18 01 of the National List of Wastes (CMU Resolution № 1102).

This means only one thing: only licensed companies have the right to work with such waste. And this is where the greatest number of errors occur.

It will also be useful: Medical waste management rules

The biggest mistake of holders of medical licenses and licenses for veterinary practice: a formal approach to the contract.

In practice, most medical centers, laboratories, individual doctors and veterinarians:

  • do not check the contractor’s license
  • do not analyze the scope of permitted operations
  • sign contracts “for the sake of it”
  • ignore compliance with subgroup 18 01.

As a result: the contract does not meet the requirements, the contractor does not have the right to process your type of waste and there are risks of inspections by the Ministry of Health.

And this is a direct risk for the cancellation of a medical license or fines.

How to properly check a medical waste disposal company?

Before concluding a contract, it is necessary to conduct a full legal audit of the counterparty.

What you need to check:

  • the presence of a license for hazardous waste management,
  • whether subgroup 18 01 is included in the license
  • the actual location of the facilities

Important: license data is contained in the official register on the website of the Ministry of Economy. But simply finding a company in the register is not enough.

Geography matters: how does it affect the cost of the contract?

Another critical factor is logistics.

Medical waste is transported by specialized transport, therefore: the further the contractor is located, the more expensive the service.

That is why the optimal solution is to choose a company in your region with real infrastructure and proven capacities.
