Biohazardous Waste Materials

  • Solid BSL1 waste must be stored in white or opaque biohazard bags. A recharge rate of $10.00 per bag is in effect. Please provide the recharge account and fund at the time the waste is brought to the autoclave facility.
  • Autoclaves are available 24 hours per day (Except during steam shutdowns or power outages).
