Medical waste bags must be used compulsorily in all kinds of health facilities where wastes that can be characterized as medical waste are produced. Not all of the wastes of health facilities are considered medical waste. Household waste, paper, glass and other similar wastes are collected separately in appropriate colors. Healthcare facilities also collect hazardous waste separately. Medical waste is separated at the point of generation. Red bags are used for medical waste, black bags for household waste and yellow bags for hazardous waste. All kinds of health facility wastes that may pose a danger to human health are collected, transported, stored and disposed of using red medical waste bags.
