Where should biopsies and body parts be disposed of?

Blue general waste Yellow bag with stripe Green recyclable waste Red anatomical waste

Correct Answer:

Red anatomical waste

Explanation:

Waste segregation and disposal for anatomical material is the main concept here. Biopsies and body parts are considered anatomical waste and must be handled as regulated medical waste, going into red anatomical waste containers so they’re treated separately from general waste and disposed of by controlled methods, typically incineration. Blue general waste is for nonhazardous everyday waste, yellow bag with stripe is used for infectious or cytotoxic waste in many settings, and green recyclable waste is for recyclables. Therefore, red anatomical waste is the correct choice.
