What are wastes similar to urban wastes?
- nonspecific contamination
- no risk to health
- have different containers
ex. offices, restuatents, adminsitrtive acitivies.
What is the container for Class I wastes?

How do we dispose of class V wastes? (2)
- in their original packaging or special containers from the recycling centers
- labelled, rigid and blue.
What is another name for class VI wastes?

What are class VI wastes?
Residues of cytotoxic medicines and the whole
material that have been in contact with them,
(dressing-gowns, masks, gloves…)
How do we dispose of class VI wastes?
Containers well
labelled
What are class VII wastes?
