Offensive waste
There are two types of non-clinical trash: one is noninfectious, while the other contains no chemicals or pharmaceuticals.
Segregate offensive health care residues both from clinical waste and municipal mixed rubbish.
It is important to segregate municipally offensive byproducts from other waste.
Your municipal offensive waste can be put in your mixed municipal refuse (‘black bags’) if your production is lower.
