In a CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) environment, typical contaminated waste items include hazardous materials like contaminated clothing, medical waste, and chemical containers. However, a clean, non-contaminated item, such as an unopened bottle of water, would not be considered contaminated waste. It’s important to differentiate between contaminated and non-contaminated items to ensure proper waste management and safety.

Depending on how much stuff you would typically run through your disposal would be whatever power garbage disposal you need to get.
Items which are of a regular, everyday trash or recycling nature (i.e. things which you would dispose of in other more normal ways) which are NOT contaminated by some biological should not be placed in a biohazard bag. Also, sharp items which might puncture the bag - specifically, those items known as "sharps" (needles, etc.) - have specific hard-shell containers for disposal. Those items which are radiologically contaminated, or of very high biological contamination (requiring BL3 or BL4 containment protocols) should be put in their own specially-designed containers, not the standard biohazard bag.
As pertaining to this question, I would ask directly with your local Garbage Facility. Many of the workers can answer your questions about Disposable Items.
NO don't depend on KFC to have any GF items. Even the sides you would think would be GF like mashed potatoes are contaminated.
If I noticed that the sterile field was contaminated, I would immediately alert the surgical team to ensure everyone's awareness of the situation. I would then follow protocol by discontinuing any procedures being performed in that area and carefully remove any contaminated items or instruments. Next, I would assist in re-establishing a sterile field, including replacing sterile drapes or instruments as necessary, before resuming the procedure. Safety and patient care are the top priorities in this situation.
If the eggs are contaminated and carrying a good deal of the bacteria, then obviously, that sickening little organism is going to invade your garbage disposal. Then again, why would you care? I am sure the garbage disposal is rife with all sorts of germs. When thinking of septic environments, any drain - equipped with a disposal or not certainly comes to mind. Run hot water and a disinfectant (bleach possibly)down the drain and in the sink surface if you are concerned. Are you looking to bathe a baby in the sink or something? I wouldn't be putting a child in a sink with a disposal unit installed. Could lop off a leg or something!!!

Flush them down a toilet. If the person has been taking chemotherapy or could have an infectious disease such as HIV, AIDS, hepatitis B or C, or rabies then you will want to double flush. If you have something that is soaked with body fluids -bandages, sheets, linens, etc.- then only disposable items dripping with blood would need special handling. These would need to be disposed of in a red bag with a biohazard emblem clearly marked on it. This would require special handling and you would need to call your local waste management authority to find out more about biohazardous waste disposal in your area. Anything nondisposable could be washed in your washing machine, remove the items after washing and run a full cycle with bleach water and no clothes through your machine.
Nagasaki would be contaminated for about 703.8 Million years as that is the half life for Uranium 235. Hiroshima would be contaminated for 24,100 years as that is the half life for Plutonium 239.
I would like to get a better garbage disposal system. Where can I find online the best garbage disposal solution?
Why would you suspect it is contaminated with radiation? A geiger counter will tell you if it is.
