Bacterial cultures.
Explanation: cultures are biohazardous and must go into the designated biohazard/hazardous‑biological waste container. Pieces of glass belong in a sharps/glass disposal box, not chemical/biohazard waste. Plant specimens can usually be composted or disposed per your facility’s biological‑waste rules (only treated as hazardous if contaminated or regulated). "All chemicals" is incorrect — chemicals must be disposed via your lab’s chemical‑waste program according to their hazard class and SDS, not simply thrown into a general hazardous waste bin.
