How can I make sure my medical waste is disposed of properly and safely?
user
Medical waste must be collected in leak-proof containers, labeled accordingly, and sent to an authorized medical waste disposal facility. Prior to disposal, all infectious materials must be incinerated or subjected to an autoclaving process. Additionally, personnel handling medical waste must wear appropriate protection against bodily fluids and avoid contact with the eye or any mucous membrane.

You should use containers which are labeled and leak-resistant, wrap tightly any sharp objects, remove personal information from syringes or medical items before disposal, seal all bags and containers in a secure area before transporting to the health care facility’s designated hazardous waste storage areas, and observe local regulations regarding collection and disposal.
