 Handling
The most appropriate way of identifying the
categories of waste is by sorting the waste
into color coded plastic bags or containers.

COLOR OF CONTAINER OR TYPE OF WASTE

BAG

Black Non-infectious dry waste

Green Non-infectious wet waste (kitchen, dietary etc.)

Yellow Infectious and Pathological waste

Yellow with black band Chemical waste including those w/ heavy metals

Orange Radioactive waste

Red Sharps and pressurized containers

 Healthcare Waste Handling Practices
Residuals of the general health care waste should join the stream of
domestic refuse or municipal solid waste for proper waste
management.

Sharps should all be collected together, regardless of whether or not

they are contaminated.

Containers should be:

✓ Puncture proof
✓ Rigid
✓ Impermeable
✓ Tamper proof

MARISSA DC. MALABANA

OIC, Chemicals and Hazardous
Waste Monitoring Section
 Healthcare Waste Handling Practices
• Bags and containers for infectious waste should be marked with
international infectious substance symbol.

International Infectious
Substance Symbol

• Highly infectious and other hazardous waste should be treated

immediately.

• Cytotoxic waste should be collected in strong, leak proof containers

clearly labeled “Cytotoxic wastes”.

MARISSA DC. MALABANA

OIC, Chemicals and Hazardous
Waste Monitoring Section
 Healthcare Waste Handling Practices
• Radioactive wastes should be segregated according to its
physical form and according to its half life or potency.

• Small amounts of chemical or pharmaceutical waste may be

collected together with infectious waste.

• Large quantities of obsolete or expired pharmaceuticals and

chemical waste should be sent to specialized treatment
facilities.

• Waste with a high content of heavy metals should be collected

separately. These wastes can be sent to waste treatment
facilities.

MARISSA DC. MALABANA

OIC, Chemicals and Hazardous
Waste Monitoring Section

 Healthcare Waste Handling Practices
• Aerosol containers may be collected with general health care waste
once they are completely empty. They should not be burnt or
incinerated.

• Appropriate containers or bag holders should be placed in all

locations where particular categories of waste may be generated.

• Staff should never attempt to correct errors of segregation by

removing items from a bag or container after disposal. If general
and hazardous waste are accidentally mixed, the mixture should be
classified as hazardous health care waste.
