Biological Waste/Special Medical Waste

Biological Waste is also commonly referred to as Special Medical Waste or Pathological Waste.  This type of waste is considered potentially contaminated with infectious agents, human, animal tissues, body fluids, or sharps.  In order to keep a clean and safe environment, EHS disposes of Biological Waste following federal, state, and local regulations.
