The Missouri Department of Natural Resources describes an Infectious Waste Haulers business as:

A person that transports a small subset of medical or healthcare waste. This waste is capable of producing an infectious disease because it contains strong and numerous enough pathogens that someone who comes in contact with it could get an infectious disease from it. Infectious waste is found in healthcare facilities, such as hospitals, doctor’s offices, dental offices, research laboratories and veterinary clinics. Infectious waste is also found in non-medical settings, such as schools, hotels, motels, tattoo shops and manufacturing businesses. It can also be found in our own homes.

You may need some or all of the following permits for an Infectious Waste Haulers business:

Public Drinking Water Construction Permit

If your business plans to construct a public water system that will supply drinking water to the public, you must obtain a Public Drinking Water Construction Permit. You must obtain this permit if you also plan to complete the following construction projects to the water system: waterline extensions, waterline replacements, drilling water supply well, construction a storage tank, adding a disinfection system, treatment changes, building a pump station or other improvements or modifications. A public water system has at least 15 service connections or serves at least 25 people at least 60 days out of the year. If your business plans to connect to a permitted public water system, then you are not required to obtain this permit.
