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.
