Radioactive waste bags would usually be either yellow or bright orange, with the radioactivity trefoil printed on it along with warnings.

It should be noted, that though Radioactive waste SHOULD be stored in Yellow bags, and tagged as "Radioactive Waste", Not all yellow bags contain radioactive waste, And, yellow bags that one finds loose, without a tag, MAY BE Radioactive Waste, and treated as a "SPILL", or "Loss of control of Radioactive Material". At that point, proper personnel should be notified, and the person finding the bag, should stand fast, allowing NO ONE to go anywhere NEAR the bag, until it has been disposed of by trained and certified personnel, and the area around and leading to the bag, declared "Clean". Naturally, this type of action and problem usually only occurs in and around places that handle Radioactive Material/Waste. But, a Hospital, DOES quite often handle both low level, and HIGH level Radioactive Materiel, and therefore, Yellow bags, should be assumed Radioactive, properly tagged or not.

What are the lyrics to Y-O-Y by Plug in Stereo?

I hear a bird as it whispers in my ear It says oh what a waste of time, Look how you live your life, Trying to show no fear. I see a man as he sits along on the street He holds a sign that begs for love His mind is so messed up That he can't even think. So in this big world you gotta' keep your head straight Take baby steps and you'll get there some day. So y-o-y would I just let my life be a waste, A bag of bones, a waste of space And how oh how did you think to wait til now if you want to fix this place I smell the scent of greed that makes us dwell We're always at each others necks, trying to be the best Looking out for ourselves I feel like we've lost touch with what's real With our heads stuck up in the clouds, only living for now Tell me what's the deal So in this big world you gotta' keep your head straight Take baby steps and you'll get there some day. So y-o-y would I just let my life be a waste, A bag of bones, a waste of space And how oh how did you think to wait til now if you want to fix this place So y-o-y would I just let my life be a waste, A bag of bones, a waste of space And how oh how did you think to wait til now if you want to fix this place So y-o-y would I just let my life be a waste, A bag of bones, a waste of space

What are the dangers of not disposing of waste in the correct way?

Well... it depends what kind of waste you are going to dispose. Lets say the waste is a biohazard you must dispose of in the correct way otherwise you might get injured. Not physically like broken bones or cuts. No. Some problems recycling radioactive waste the incorrect way would be rashes and exposure to radioactive chemicals entering your body. Lets say you are going to dispose of expired food in a trash can. That type of waste is not dangerous. However if on your food (lets say bread) mold appears, keep the bag closed and dispose of fast. Otherwise mold will spread penetrating through the bag and on to the surface the bread was on.
