Hahaha I love the Jersey answer...I live in Jersey and its VERY TRUE.
But seriously, they burn most of the waste. Some of the lower-level biohazardous waste is actually disposed of in a landfill in the approved container. (lower level --> stuff that is not saturated in blood/body parts/needles etc)

Much of the body parts are incinerated in the facility furnance. Other hazardous materials like needles, latex gloves , etc are also suppose to be disposed of according to OSHA guidelines, but these items are oursourced for disposal.

It is transported to a storage area where it is burnt ( incinerated ) or encapsulated and buried in a hazardous waste dump site...
Nothing pleasant to think about...

They take it away to an incineration plant to destroy the biohazard waste.
