Some of the more modern waste fascilities try to dispose of human waste in a mannor that is less likely to allow diseases and harmful bacteria to recycle back into the community. In most cases bio waste is benign. In some cases the dump sites have compromised liners. There are numerous reasons that human waste should be specifically treated. You can call your local city or county safety office. It shouldn't increase your bill and it is for everyone's benefit. Remember the good old days when everyone went potty upstream? Here we just put orange tape on the bag if it not a biohazard bag.

My supra pubic cath site is cleaned daily with betadine. I use disposable diapers. All these need to be in marked containers. When emptied, they have to go to a special medical refuse site. Does anyone do all this? I have been putting the diapers, double bagged, in the trash. The betadine just goes in the regular trash. ____________________________________________________________________________________ No need to miss a message. Get email on-the-go with Yahoo!
