General waste is put into containers lined with black bags. Clean broken glass is disposed of in a cardboard box lined with a black bag and taped, or in sharps containers for small amounts. Biohazardous waste includes cultures, specimens of microorganisms, and human/animal cell cultures. Medical waste is a subset of hazardous waste. Landfills are the cheapest method of waste disposal but cause issues like methane emissions and water contamination, while incineration causes air pollution and emissions but completely destroys the waste.
