Abstract
Biological waste is defined in the Resource Recovery and Management Act as including, but not limited to, biomedical waste, diseased or dead animals, and other waste capable of transmitting pathogens to humans or animals. Other biological wastes are subject to lower standards of disposal than most other solid wastes. Because of the prevalence of agriculture in Florida, special rules apply to dead animals and poultry wastes.
