1. Animal carcasses, contaminated bedding and tissues must be placed in strong, tightly closed, leak-proof plastic bags. Bags must be placed in freeze until date of pick-up.
2. Separate waste with a half-life of < 90 days from longer half-live waste.
3. Needles and other sharps must not be placed in bags with animal carcasses.
4. Do not put nonbiological materials into carcass bags. Collect paper, plastic, foil, syringes, and absorbents separately and treat, if necessary, to reduce non radiological hazards.
5. All waste containers must indicate radionuclide and total activity per gram weight, averaged over the initial weight of the disposed animal.
