Waste is packed for regulated disposal. A final visual check makes sure nothing was missed.

Urine is treated with caution, especially when it is mixed with blood or other fluids or has soaked into flooring and mattresses. It can leave bacteria and strong odor behind. A cleanup team removes the soaked materials and disinfects the area.
