FAQ / Bags & Containers

Frequently asked.

Answers to the questions clinical buyers and care teams ask most about this product category.

What color bag for which waste?

Red or red-orange: regulated medical/biohazard waste. Yellow: chemotherapy/cytotoxic waste. Black: non-regulated general waste. Purple: pharmaceutical waste. Check your state's specific color requirements.

What mil thickness do I need?

Regulated medical waste bags are typically 1.3 mil minimum. Heavy duty applications may require 1.5–3 mil. Thicker bags resist punctures but cost more per unit.

How full should I fill waste bags?

Most manufacturers mark a fill line at ~3/4 capacity. Overfilling compromises the seal and increases leak risk during transport.

Are these OSHA compliant?

OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogen Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) specifies waste handling requirements. Biohazard bags meeting ASTM D1922 and D1709 puncture/tear standards support compliance. Review your facility's exposure control plan.
