What Is Considered Infectious Waste?

If you’re not sure whether the materials in your property are considered infectious, here are some of the most common examples we safely handle every day:

• Blood-soaked items, gauze, bandages, and contaminated linens
• Sharps (needles, syringes), broken glass with blood, or lancets
• Personal protective equipment (PPE) used during an incident
• Feces and urine contamination (human or animal)
• Residues from trauma scenes or medical emergencies
