ABSTRACT A method and device for inhibiting contamination from an infectious waste receptacle. The method comprising providing a lid to close the receptacle and exposing the waste in the receptacle to a bactericidal light to kill bacteria on the exposed surface and establish a substantially bacteria-free interface above the infectious waste. The method may further include the step of maintaining the interior of the receptacle at a lower pressure than the surrounding environment when the lid is closed to retard the escape of contaminants, and the step of drawing the potentially contaminated air displaced from the receptacle by the deposit of waste away from the person depositing the waste. Finally, a disinfectant and/or deodorant may be applied to the waste. The device may comprise a frame, a lid pivotally mounted on the frame, and a bactericidal light source on the underside of the lid to kill bacteria on the exposed surface of the accumulated waste in the receptacle and establish a substantially bacteria-free interface above the infectious waste. The device may further include a plenum having a vent in communication with the interior of the receptacle to maintain the interior of the receptacle at a lower pressure than the surrounding environment and to draw the air displaced from the receptacle away from the the depositor. Finally, the device may include means for applying a disinfectant and/or deodorant to the accumulated waste.
