It may feel easier to toss everything into a red bag, but Indiana law says otherwise. Regulated medical waste has strict definitions—think sharps, cultures, items saturated with blood, and certain pathological waste. Tossing non-hazardous trash in there not only drives up disposal costs but also violates compliance standards.
At Med Monkey, part of our job is helping staff understand these rules so nothing ends up in the wrong container. When everyone’s clear, facilities stay compliant, costs stay down, and safety is protected. Read about Indiana’s medical waste laws: https://rebrand.ly/a41700
