Handling Biohazardous Waste
Captions available
The idea
Regulated medical waste is discarded according to federal rules and the practice's policy.
In practice
Items soaked with blood or other infectious materials go into labeled biohazard containers; ordinary trash goes in ordinary bins.
Where people slip
Putting regular trash in biohazard bins wastes money, while putting biohazard waste in the trash endangers people.
