What bags can be used for hazardous waste?
If the waste is hazardous waste, then the bag must be able to be closed during storage (unless being kept inside a closable container), and able to be closed upon disposal. A zip lock bag is often useful in these cases. Other options may include trash bags used to line a closable container which are removed when the waste is picked up or made ready for pick up by the ORCBS. The bag may not be a biohazard bag.
