    • Any waste involving any material from a human, usually bodily fluids
    • Research waste involving any material from non-human primates
    • Research waste involving infectious materials
  • Sharps waste - Used needles, syringes, scalpels, and other things that can cut or poke.
  • Noninfectious waste - Biological research waste that carries no infection risk
