Disposal of Biohazardous Waste Material:
 
Biohazardous waste is normally autoclaved and rendered non-hazardous by the user. After proper autoclaving, it may be disposed of as non-hazardous waste assuming there are no other hazards associated with the material (such as toxic chemicals, radioactive substances or sharps).
 
See section 3.5 on this page: Waste Disposal in the Department of Biological Sciences.
