Not sure that throwing away plastic tubes with samples of plague bacteria is a good idea

Disposing of and throwing away are two different things. Throwing away is a subclass of 'disposing of' and there are many other such subclasses including safe destruction, for instance by incineration.

I'm pretty sure that it goes into a biohazard container that is then sterilized and probably incinerated.
