Blue Waste Bags

Waste Type: Medicinal Non-Hazardous

Sometimes called ‘blue biohazard bags’ these are actually used for non-hazardous medicinal waste that doesn’t contain anything which would pose a risk through cytotoxic or cytostatic materials.

Examples: Denatured drugs, inhaler cartridges, unopened medical vials, containers or tablets, and out of date, unused medicine.

Clear Biohazard Bags

Waste Type: Lateral Flow

Large-scale Covid-19 testing has led to a new type of healthcare waste bag being made to define waste that contains used lateral flow kits. This is classed as chemical waste.

Examples: Used lateral flow test kits.

Orange Biohazard Bags

Waste Type: Infectious Clinical Waste

Both hazardous and non-hazardous waste that has come into contact with patients known or suspected to be carrying an infectious disease. Body fluids, tissues, and medicinal waste should not be put into orange waste bags.

Examples: Used PPE, used dressings, plasters, bandages, swabs, gauze and tissues.

Red Biohazard Bags

Waste Type: Non-Infectious Anatomical Waste

Non-infectious anatomical waste includes body parts that are not considered to be abnormal or infectious. You can buy large or small red biohazard bags depending on what needs to be put into them.

Examples: Body parts, organs, animal remains, blood preserves, and blood bags.

Yellow Biohazard Bags

Waste Type: Infectious Clinical Waste

Yellow bags should be used for infectious clinical waste. They are different from orange bags in that yellow waste bags should be used for contaminated medicinal waste and chemicals, as well as body fluids. These are things that cannot go into orange bags.

Examples: Body fluids like blood, urine, vomit, mucus, materials contaminated with body fluids like swabs and bandages, IV bags, samples and cultures in a lab,  and infectious, medically-contaminated diagnostic kits.

Black Waste Bags

Waste Type: General Waste

General waste is also called domestic or municipal waste and includes everything that is not hazardous or infectious, and cannot be recycled.

Examples: non-recyclable packaging, inert waste such as crockery, vacuum cleaner dust, and used food containers.
