Biohazardous waste refers to the infectious one or biomedical one having infectious material or possibly infectious substances, such as blood. Special importance is given to sharp items such as blades, needles, and pipettes that may cause injury while managing. Such items should be disposed according to the statutory disposal policy. This is applicable even while handling domestic waste, though getting them generated at home is not considered to be of severe health concern.

Household is a robust one that should be disposed in a permitted municipal solid landfill. If you are unable to do it on your own, a good way to make sure is by seeking help from one of the accredited pharmaceutical waste disposal services.
