Description
Biohazard Waste Bin is a specialized, highly visible container designed for the safe and compliant collection, temporary storage, and disposal of infectious, potentially infectious, or contaminated biological waste. These bins are crucial in healthcare settings, laboratories, research facilities, and any environment where biohazard materials are generated.Their primary function is to prevent the spread of pathogens, protect personnel from infection, and ensure proper waste segregation before further treatment and disposal.
Features:
- Distinctive Labeling & Color: Typically colored red, yellow, or sometimes orange (depending on regional regulations and waste stream classification) to instantly identify its contents as hazardous biological waste.
- Leak-Proof Construction: Made from durable, puncture-resistant high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene plastic.
- Tight-Fitting Lid: Features a secure, tight-fitting lid(often pedal-operated for hands-free opening or a standard lift-off lid) that creates a barrier to prevent odor escape, minimize exposure to aerosols, and contain contents securely.
- Foot Pedal Operation (Common): Many models come with a foot pedal mechanism for hands-free operation, minimizing contact with the bin and reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
- Smooth Surfaces & Easy Cleaning: Designed with smooth, non-porous internal and external surfaces for easy cleaning and disinfection, essential for maintaining hygiene standards.
