Red Liners for Infectious Waste Disposal

Red liners help healthcare facilities separate suitable infectious or healthcare risk waste from general waste. They make waste streams easier to identify and prepare for collection.

What are red liners used for?

They may be used for suitable contaminated soft waste such as gloves, swabs, gauze and dressings, depending on the facility procedure.

What should not go inside?

Loose sharps should never go into red liners. Needles, blades and lancets belong in sharps containers.

Best practices

• Use red liners for the correct waste stream.
• Do not overfill or compress by hand.
• Seal before moving.
• Store securely before collection.
