When disposing medical waste in public places, it is important to take the following safety measures: wear personal protective gear such as gloves and a face shield; make sure the area is well-ventilated; put label indicating “BIOHAZARD” on the waste containers; do not mix biomedical waste with other types of garbage; place medical waste in sealed containers and keep them away from children, pets and unauthorized personnel. The medical waste should also be disposed regularly by a professional service.

Safety measures when disposing medical waste in public places include wearing gloves, using a plastic bag to collect the waste, discarding it in an outdoor garbage container rather than a recycling bin, washing your hands afterwards and disinfecting any surfaces that came into contact with the medical waste. Additional precautions may be necessary depending on local regulations such as verifying that the refuse container is specifically designated for medical waste.
