You often think that once something is disposed of and goes to the landfill that it’s gone. Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case. In December 2014, 18,000 fruit cakes were discarded at a landfill in Kragujevac, Serbia after the owner of the cakes determined they were spoiled. Surveillance footage later showed the cakes being removed from the landfill and then offered to the public.

The rules surrounding biohazardous waste disposal have changed dramatically over the past forty years. As people become increasingly aware of the dangers associated with improper disposal and as laws regarding that disposal become increasingly strict, more and more people are learning about the implications of not knowing or following these rules. There are, of course, legal implications, but there are also safety issues to consider. Therefore, if you run a clinic, doctor’s office, dentist’s office, veterinarian clinic, or a fully functioning hospital, it’s crucial that you both learn this information and put it into practice daily at your facility.
