Red Bag & Biohazard Waste Disposal
Secure pickup and compliant disposal of blood-soaked materials, gloves, gowns, and other infectious waste.
What It Is
What Is Red Bag Waste?
Red bag waste — also called biohazardous or infectious waste — includes any non-sharp item that is saturated or dripping with blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM). Common examples include blood-soaked bandages, surgical drapes, gloves, gowns, and disposable medical devices.
Under Illinois regulations, this waste must be collected in clearly labeled, leak-proof red bags and transported by licensed haulers to approved treatment facilities. We supply the bags and coordinate every step.
