What is the main goal of ensuring medical waste is completely free of pathogenic bacteria before disposal?

To make the waste suitable for disposal in ordinary landfills
To prevent contamination of the environment (correct)
To reduce the cost of infectious waste disposal
To reduce the number of bacteria in the waste

Why is disposal without treatment not recommended for human tissues, sharps, and cultures from clinical laboratories?

Because they can be safely disposed of in sanitary landfills
