Yellow bags are bags that are used to contain non-recyclable waste such as medical waste. They are large, sturdy bags with a black medical waste logo printed on them. Yellow bags are used to safely dispose of medical waste, used syringes, discarded medicines, discarded medical equipment and protective clothing. These wastes are handled in a specialized manner to ensure that they do not pose a hazard to the environment and human health. In addition to medical waste, some people also use yellow bags for carrying the belongings of newly crowned recovered people or as souvenirs.
