She does not need to put the culture in a biohazard container as the culture is not a blood specimen. It is a false statement

<h3>What is Biohazard container ?</h3>

Biological liquid waste that has been chemically or autoclave-decontaminated can be dumped down the drain (sanitary sewer) while it is running. Blood and bodily fluids from either humans or animals can be flushed down the toilet without first being cleaned.

Devices or things with corners, edges, or projections capable of cutting or piercing skin or everyday garbage bags are collected in commercial red biohazardous sharps containers after coming into touch with biological or recombinant genetic materials.
Waste that might be infected with pathogens that are dangerous to people and the environment is disposed of in biohazard containers.
After being autoclaved, biohazardous material can be thrown out with regular trash. Put the autoclave bag inside a typical container.
