Question

what is the most effective method to treat solid lab waste?​

Answer 1

Incineration is the method of choice for treating large volumes of infectious waste, animal carcasses, and contaminated bedding materials. Because incinerators usually are located some distance from the laboratory, additional precautions for handling and packaging of infectious waste are necessary.

Make sure the materials placed in the municipal waste are suitable for this type of disposal, especially:

1. Do not place any liquids in the municipal waste.
2. Do not dispose of chemical waste, including stock containers with unused product, in the municipal waste.
3. Empty or rinsed containers must be free of any hazardous residue and be marked "empty."
4. All sharps must be in an appropriate, puncture-resistant container to prevent injuries.
5. If a material can be mistaken as a hazardous, radioactive, or biological waste, but is not, it must be identified as non-hazardous.
