Biohazard Disposal (Score:2)
Quoting WP: [wikimedia.org]
In the United States, there are three main methods for medical waste generators to dispose of their waste: On-site, truck service, and mail-back disposal. On-site treatment involves the use of very expensive equipment, and is generally only used by very large hospitals and major universities who have the means to afford such equipment.
No citations. Also, I didn't attempt to find (medical) waste management data specific to Russia.
As far as I can determine, red-bag waste is the only type of regulated/hazardous waste that would be eligible for burning (non-hazardous flue-gas, infectious materials sterilized). On the other hand, medical waste likely has a higher moisture content than any burnable solid waste... I wouldn't be surprised if fuel cost is the primary cost associated with incinerating it.
