To safely discard bloodborne pathogens, always wear protective gloves and use tools like tongs if needed. Place contaminated items, like needles, bandages, or anything with blood, in a special, leak-proof, and puncture-resistant container labeled "Biohazard." Do not overfill the container. For liquid waste, use a strong, sealed container with a biohazard label. Once the container is full, follow your local health and safety guidelines to dispose of it properly, usually by giving it to a medical waste disposal service. Always wash your hands thoroughly after handling any biohazard waste.
