Giải thích
Items saturated or dripping with blood or other potentially infectious material are regulated medical waste and go into a labeled red biohazard bag. Clean packaging, unsoiled paper, and unused supplies are ordinary waste or can be discarded per facility policy. Overfilling biohazard bags with non-regulated waste raises disposal costs without adding safety.
