Generally doctor's offices have special receptacles and disposal processes for bio hazardous waste, so you won't have to deal with that.

Enumerate the Concept of bio-medical waste?
Biomedical waste consists of solids, liquids, sharps, and laboratory waste that are potentially infectious or dangerous. It must be properly managed to protect the general public, specifically healthcare and sanitation workers who are regularly exposed to biomedical waste as an occupational hazard.Biomedical waste differs from other types of hazardous waste, such as industrial waste, in that it comes from biological sources or is used in the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of diseases. Common producers of biomedical waste include hospitals, health clinics, nursing homes, medical research laboratories, offices of physicians, dentists, and veterinarians, home health care, and funeral homes.
How to Dispose of Medical Waste Properly?
Medical waste is very different than typical household garbage. In most cases, medical waste has been contaminated with bodily fluids or secretions and care must be taken to dispose of it so that other people do not become infected. The types of medical waste that are typically subject to special disposal techniques include needles, hospital gowns and equipment that will no longer be used within a medical facility.How to Label Medical WasteIf you work for a medical facility and are in charge of disposing of medical waste, you must label the container with the words Bio hazardous Waste. There are stickers available with the internationally recognized symbol for Bio hazardous Waste which can be placed on the receptacle or you can write the words in large block letters. It must be visible from all angles, so you should place the sticker or write the words on the top of the container as well as its left and right sides.Proper Storage of Medical WasteIf the medical waste can not be disposed of immediately, it should be kept in a room where it is not exposed to the weather or to the people who are patients, employees or visitors of the medical establishment. Laws which regulate how medical waste must be handled state that it must be in a container in which nothing can be removed during the time it is in storage. It must be kept separate from all other types of garbage while awaiting transport to a waste facility.The Final Destination for Medical WasteAll medical waste must be placed in a Biohazard bag and secured tightly so there is no possibility of leakage. It can then be left to be picked up by special handlers and brought to a waste facility. After it gets there, a waste facility official must document how it was destroyed and forward this information to federal and state governments that track the entire lifespan of bio hazardous medical materials. Medical waste can be burned in an approved container or buried within in a landfill that is dedicated to medical waste disposal.
