Final answer:

Items like an empty urine container can be safely disposed of in a regular waste container following OSHA guidelines, while biohazardous waste items require special disposal procedures.


Explanation:

An empty urine container can be disposed of in a regular waste container as long as it is empty and does not contain any bodily fluids, following OSHA guidelines for proper waste disposal. However, items like a positive culture plate that come in contact with bodily fluids must be considered as biohazardous waste and autoclaved before disposal. Capillary tubes used in medical procedures should also be disposed of properly to prevent any safety issues.
