The waste is essentially a carbonized residue, with ground (blunted) glass and metal sharps included. The waste is completely acceptable for disposal in municipal landfills as defined in Canada and the U.S. The waste can be disposed with the standard kitchen and housekeeping refuse. This eliminates the need for special handling and eliminates the special hauling required for medical waste.
