White Biohazard Waste Cans provide safe, temporary collection of biological waste. They meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 for the segregation of infectious waste. They may be used to store contaminated laundry as well as other regulated waste (they are not to be used for sharps). Sturdy steel cans feature leak-proof construction with foot operated self-closing lid. Simple and safe foot pedal operation opens the container cover automatically. Release of pedal then closes can cover to reduce the risk of contamination. A biohazard bag is held securely around the circumference of the can top.
