Question 1

Is Kendall covered by Miami-Dade biomedical waste rules?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kendall is an unincorporated community within Miami-Dade County and is subject to the same FDOH Chapter 64E-16 biomedical waste rules as the City of Miami. The same storage time limits, container requirements, manifest rules, and licensed transporter requirements apply. Exodus Waste Solutions is FDOH-permitted to service all Miami-Dade generators including those in Kendall.

Question 2

I'm a small practice in Kendall with very low waste volume. Do I still need a licensed hauler?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Florida law requires all biomedical waste, regardless of volume, to be transported by an FDOH-licensed hauler and documented on a manifest. There is no minimum volume exemption. Even if you only generate a single small sharps container per month, you must use a licensed transporter. Exodus offers low-volume service plans specifically designed for small practices.

Question 3

What's the best container setup for an urgent care center in Kendall?

Accepted Answer

Most Kendall urgent care centers generate a mix of regulated waste and sharps. A standard setup includes multiple 1- or 2-gallon sharps containers at each exam room, a 5-gallon sharps container at the nursing station, and one or two red bag containers in the treatment and procedure areas. We'll walk through your layout and recommend the right container count and sizes at no charge when you set up service.

Question 4

Can I get on-call pickups if my Kendall practice generates more waste than expected?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All Exodus accounts have access to on-call pickups if you hit your storage limit before your scheduled service date. Call (786) 622-2214 and we'll arrange an expedited pickup, typically within 24–48 hours for Kendall locations.
