There are two types of waste containers in hospital rooms:

• With a RED label: To discard materials with secretions, such as blood, corporal fluids, bandages, catheters, cotton, sanitary napkins, diapers, etc.

• With a WHITE label: Common trash, such as towels and paper towels, all types of wrappings, and others.
