Answer: hazardous waste container

Step-by-step explanation:

A hazardous waste container is the container where hazardous waste which have been used in clinical trials, hospital use, nuclear power plants, hazardous chemicals from the laboratory can be stored, treated and transported.

Biohazardous waste, is the infectious waste which can be grown over the biological material like tissues, body organs, blood, urine, blood transfusion tube and others.

The paper towel will contain blood which is subjected to the growth of the pathogens and can cause huge infection hence, it is the example of material which should be disposed off in the hazardous waste container.
