In a recent Q&A on the FacilityCare website, consultant Brad Keyes answered a question about waste containers. 

Q: Is the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) categorical waiver for waste containers a hard burden to prove? Are other hospital facility managers (FMs) unwilling to utilize the waiver for this for fear that they will have difficulty proving compliance?
