Can filters be removed through the available service route without crossing a clean supply area?

Can filters be removed through the available service route without crossing a clean supply area?

The label directs that a used filter goes straight into a bag or waste container where it is removed.

The label’s caution states: “A used filter holds the dust and microorganisms it has taken out of the air. Wear gloves, and eye protection and a dust mask where dust is heavy. Put the used filter straight into a bag or waste container. Do not shake it out or blow it clean. Wash hands after handling.” Its disposal direction is: “Dispose of the used filter and its packaging as ordinary household or commercial waste under Federal, State and local requirements. Do not burn. Do not reuse the filter.” The route a bagged filter takes through a building is set by the people who run it.
