RED BIOHAZARD BAG WASTE PICK UP AND DISPOSAL

Red bag waste is defined as items that have come into contact with a potential infectious agent and must be disposed of in a red biohazard waste bag.

These items include but are not limited to: blood soaked items, gauze, bandages, specimen cups, items containing dried blood or other fluids, gloves, gowns, intravenous bags, soft plastic items, table paper, personal protective equipment, closed and sealed disposable sharps containers and leak-proof containers of liquids.

Proper packaging and disposal of red bag waste is required by State and Federal agencies. Logix Environmental offers a complete line of red biohazard bags and disposal options.
