Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. In a closed, non-absorbent container.

Why the other options are wrong
- A. An open hamper in a public area is unsanitary and a violation of TDLR rules.
- B. While separation from clean linens is good practice, the container must also be closed and non-absorbent.
- C. A mesh bag, especially if open, does not meet the 'closed, non-absorbent' requirement.
