Frequently Asked Questions About Biohazard Waste Bags

How to dispose of biohazard waste bags?

1. Seal the Bag: Ensure the bag is securely sealed to prevent any leaks or spills. Our bags come prelabeled with the type of waste and correct markings so you do not need to apply additional labels.
2. Follow Regulations: Adhere to local regulations and guidelines for biohazardous waste disposal, as they may vary.

3. Contact a Licensed Waste Disposal Service: Arrange for disposal through a licensed medical waste disposal service, which can handle biohazardous materials safely and in compliance with regulations.

They will likely dispose of the biohazardous waste via incineration or autoclaving to destroy pathogens before final disposal. Some hospitals or medical facilities handle this in-house.

What color are biohazard bags?

Biohazard bags come in a range of colors that designate their contents. This color-coding acts as the label, saving time and simplifying the disposal process.

Red Biohazard Waste Bags indicate medical waste. This includes medical tools for testing including swabs, gauze pads, bandages, etc. Used hypodermic needles should not be disposed of in red medical waste bags, and should be put in a plastic needle disposal box, which can then be put in a red medical trash bag. They are printed in both Spanish and English.

Yellow Biohazard Waste Bags indicate infectious linen. They are used by housekeeping in hospitals or medical facilities while turning over rooms. They are printed in both Spanish and English.

Blue Biohazard Waste Bags indicate soiled linen. They are not marked with a biohazard label as they are not infectious. These are also used by housekeeping for turning over rooms. They are printed in both Spanish and English.

Are biohazard waste bags the same thing as medical waste bags?

The main difference is that biohazard waste bags are typically used to contain infectious materials that pose a risk to human health, while medical waste bags are used to contain a wider range of materials generated by healthcare facilities. Both types of bags are designed to safely contain and dispose of hazardous materials, but they may have different requirements for storage, handling, and disposal.
