What Is Biohazard Waste?

Biohazard waste (also known as biomedical or infectious waste) includes any material contaminated with blood, bodily fluids, or potentially infectious substances that may pose a risk to human health.
Common examples include:

Improper handling of biohazard waste can lead to infection, cross-contamination, and legal liability.

  • Sewage backups
  • Drug activity
  • Hoarding situations
