Biohazard (Red Bag) Waste

Also known as regulated medical waste, this category includes items that may contain blood or infectious materials. Examples include:

Sharps waste
- Needles
- Lancets (fingerstick devices)
- Syringes
- Auto-injectors
- Scalpel blades
- Pipettes
- Discarded glass or rigid vials containing infectious agents

Other infectious waste
- Anything that drips, flakes, or pours (e.g., contaminated with blood or pathogens)

All of this waste must be placed in a red biohazard bag and disposed of by a licensed disposal company, such as LRI.

Trace Chemotherapy Waste

This type of waste falls into two categories:

Items contaminated with residual amounts of chemotherapy drugs, such as empty drug bottles, drug dispensing devices, or IV bags and tubing. (i.e., the container is “RCRA empty”).

Gloves, gowns, masks, goggles, and other disposable items used when administering chemotherapy drugs.

Trace chemotherapy items are often placed in yellow containers.

An affordable and compliant solution for disposing of small amounts of trace chemotherapy waste is to use a mail-back kit.
