I had another blood draw today for my GD test and it made me curious- what happens to the blood after the lab tests it? How is it disposed?

I was wondering if it could be used for blood donations if logistics were very well composed. But also noticed they have something in the viles other that blood.
Our lab keeps blood for 7 days for additional testing if any is ordered (and the specimen is appropriate), then we toss it in the biohazard trash and a company picks it up to be destroyed off-site.
Medical waste is generally incinerated.
Hospitals usually have an incinerator in their basement, while smaller clinics may rely on a centralized collection and incineration system.

Some is donated to vampires. The rest is used in safe satanic rituals (after all, why work hard for the blood of a virgin when there’s do much already available in the lab!)
But for real, it just gets incinerated.
