Bio-hazardous medical waste is defined as any potentially hazardous waste that is generated in the diagnosis, treatment, immunization or injuries/treatment of injuries of Hillcrest students or staff.

As noted, Hillcrest does not generate significant quantities of bio-hazardous medical waste. Types of bio-hazardous medical waste generated by Hillcrest generally are limited to:
Sharps (e.g., syringes, lancets). Sharps are the most common type of bio-hazard material generated by Hillcrest.
Materials (e.g., used bandages) requiring disposal in red bio-hazard bags. These types of materials are rarely generated by Hillcrest. Periodic disposal of all bio-hazardous medical waste is conducted through and by the Hillcrest Dental Office, a subsidiary of Hillcrest Educational Centers, in Pittsfield.
