How should BDW be disposed of after treatment if disposal is required?

• A. At a permitted disposal facility in accordance with treatment documentation and regulations.
• B. In a local street trash bin.
• C. In a non-licensed waste pile.
• D. In a household dumpster.

Answer: (A)

After BDW has been treated to render it non-infectious, it must be disposed of at a facility that is permitted to receive BDW, in accordance with the treatment documentation and applicable regulations. This ensures proper regulatory compliance, accurate waste tracking, and protection for workers, the public, and the environment. Local street trash bins, non-licensed waste piles, and household dumpsters are not authorized for BDW because they bypass licensed handling and pose clear biohazard risks.
