Not sure where you're at, but the hospitals around here are pretty meticulous with sorting waste, especially segregating biowaste. I am near to Boston though, so they're admittedly some of the best.

US deep south. The only sorting of trash I see in the hospital is sharps vs non-sharps. Outside the hospital, sorting is vitually nonexistent... there's no recycling here, everything just goes in a landfill. It's fucking stupid, but this is what we get for putting Nazis in charge of everything.
