Title: Category A Waste and Healthcare Facility Questions to Ask Your Waste Vendor

Description: The safest method of handling waste contaminated with a Category A infectious substance would be to render the agent no longer infectious through a process that inactivates the agent, typically by incineration or steam sterilization in an autoclave in a validated waste cycle. For those facilities or agencies unable to inactivate Category A infectious waste onsite, they must partner with a waste vendor capable of transporting and inactivating or destroying the waste elsewhere. This printable flyer focuses on questions to ask your waste vendor on topics related to Category A waste.
