What happens to blood samples after they are tested?

What happens to all the blood? If it is put into hazardous material bins, what happens to the hazardous material?

I worked at the CDC doing some blood analysis for a few years. We trashed the blood vials in biohazard bins which were tagged for incineration. They might have been autoclaved first and then incinerated. Disposal of bodily fluids is a very controlled and regulated process and must be thoroughly decontaminated to prevent the accidental spread of disease.
