Bio-medical waste bins require specific features like durable, non-chlorinated HDPE plastic, color-coding (yellow, red, white, blue) for segregation, leak-proof designs, foot-operated lids for hands-free use, strong frames (SS/MS), and wheels, with common capacities ranging from 10L to 60L, conforming to CPCB norms for safe handling and disposal of infectious hospital waste, including biohazard symbols and facility details.
To use bio-medical waste bins, segregate waste at the point of generation into color-coded containers (yellow for general infectious, red for recyclable plastic/tubing, blue for glass, white/puncture-proof for sharps), never overfill (fill to 3/4), use liners, label correctly, keep lids closed/use foot pedals, and ensure regular collection within 48 hours, disinfecting bins and minimizing handling for safety.
