Abstract: A disposal unit can include a substantially air tight chamber, an insertion component for inserting waste into the chamber, a disposal container for removing the inserted waste from the disposal unit, a container sealant mechanism configured to allow a sealing of the disposal container, and an air extraction unit. The air extraction unit captures air or airborne particles from the substantially air tight chamber to minimize exposure to the air or the airborne particles from the inserted waste. The exposure to the air or airborne particles is minimized to humans placing the waste into the insertion component, to humans removing the disposal container from the disposal unit, or to humans proximate to the disposal unit.

Abstract: A disposal unit can include a substantially air tight chamber, an insertion component, an air tight region of the air tight chamber containing a disposal container, an air holding region, an air extraction unit, an air sanitation component, a container sealant mechanism, and/or combinations thereof. The air holding region can be distinct from the air tight region and the remaining region of the substantially air tight chamber. The air extraction unit can be configured to capture air from the remaining region and place the captured air in the air holding region. Air can be optionally redirected from the air holding region into an airtight disposal container, which is thereafter sealed. The air sanitation component can be configured to sanitize the captured air to a predetermined air quality level. Harmful byproducts of the waste (e.g., toxic vapors) inserted in the disposal unit can be reduced and/or neutralized through sanitation and/or containment.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a solution for disposing waste having potentially hazardous airborne emissions. The solution can include a step of receiving waste through an aperture of a disposal unit exhibiting a closed environment. The received waste can be placed within an air tight disposal container. An opening of the disposal container can be sealed to separate the disposal container from the remainder of the substantially closed environment. Air included in the remainder of the substantially closed environment can be captured and placed in a holding unit. The captured air can be ejected from the holding unit into the air tight disposal container. The disposal container containing the received waste and the ejected air can be sealed. The disposal unit can be thereafter opened so that the sealed disposal container is able to be discarded.
