In which of the following color-coded containers are needles, syringes, scalpels, blades, and glass objects disposed of?

Correct option is D

Answer: (d) White box
Explanation:
According to Biomedical Waste Management Guidelines, sharp objects like needles, syringes, scalpels, blades, and glass should be disposed of in a puncture-proof, leak-proof white container to prevent injury and contamination.
Color-Coded Waste Disposal System:
· (a) Black box: For non-hazardous general waste (e.g., food waste, packaging material).
· (b) Yellow box: For infectious waste (e.g., anatomical waste, soiled dressings, human tissues, body fluids, microbiological waste).
· (c) Red box: For contaminated plastic waste (e.g., IV tubes, catheters, urine bags, gloves).
· (d) White box: For sharps, such as needles, syringes, scalpels, and glass objects (puncture-proof container).
Conclusion:
The correct answer is (d) White box, as it is specifically designated for sharp biomedical waste.
