“We can locate maybe the clinic, maybe a private office, maybe a hospital, or maybe a laboratory. [The MPD said] they are looking already at sinisiyasat na ‘yung nangyari,” he added. “Hazardous waste disposal is done through DENR-accredited hazardous waste service contractors, which is in charge of the treatment, storage and disposal of all hazardous and infectious waste generated in all health centers and district hospitals in the City of Manila. All wastes generated are properly handled and treated prior to its final disposal,” Domagoso said.

Other materials such as test tubes, gloves and used personal protective equipment are placed in a yellow plastic bag.
