The black bag is used for collecting dry waste material which is not infectious.
Materials like paper, plastics, cardboard boxes, and other dry waste generated in the hospital office or the wards are disposed of in this bag.
This is not biomedical waste.
The red bag is used for the disposal of plastics collected from operation theaters, ICUs and wards.
The yellow bag is used for highly infectious items like a pathological waste, human anatomical waste such as body parts, amputated parts/organs, tumors, placentas, aborted or dead fetuses, blood-soaked cotton bandages, animal tissues, organs, carcasses, etc.
Blue or White opaque bag is used for collecting the segregated metal sharps such as needles, blades, saws, scalpels, and glass pieces.
