At MSU, animal carcasses are also considered pathological waste. Although not all pathological waste is infectious, it is prudent to handle such waste as if it were because of the possibility of unknown infection in the source. For more information on this subject, refer to MSU's Exposure Control Plan.
Many units have routine weekly ULAR pickups.
Non-Infectious Material Rodents and Small Amounts of Waste Use opaque bags or wrap items in a paper towel if using clear plastic bags. 2 mil plastic bags or sealable kitchen bags are acceptable for small numbers of animals. Use an opaque 4 mil bag for large numbers. Rabbits and Larger Animals Use 4 mil black plastic bags. If over 50 lbs - double bag.
