How do I do dispose of unclaimed biological material from freezers or refrigerators?
• Wear gloves to handle and place material in a red biohazard bag. Place bag next to regular waste for pick up. Do not place biohazard waste containers in public areas such as hallways or non-secured dock areas. • Alternatively, the material can be placed in a clear autoclavable bag and autoclaved for 60 minutes. Then place in regular waste container. • For additional information regarding disposal of biological waste, see the Infectious Waste Disposal Chart or the Waste Handling Procedures section of the Biosafety Manual.
