The family or the person handling the estate decides. The team follows those directions and should confirm them with one point of contact. For legal questions about authority over a home and its contents, ask an attorney.

Workers who work with blood and body fluids are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. In Texas, companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Ask any team how it disposes of waste.
