- Contact your local health department, county waste authority or check the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), Medical Waste Regulatory Program’s website for a list of community service collections programs, by county at https://www.michigan.gov/egle/about/organization/materials-management/medical-waste-regulatory-program or call 1-517-241-1320.
