A multi-stage treatment system for infectious waste includes a shredding stage, a granulating stage, a wetting stage, a disinfecting stage, and a dewatering stage which define a continuous treatment flowpath for the infectious waste. A plurality of blades fragment the waste in the shredding and granulating stages while simultaneously mixing the waste with disinfectant chemicals. A plurality of jets wet the waste mixture in the wetting stage with a heated aqueous liquid to form a disinfectant solution which disinfects the waste in the disinfecting stage. A flow restriction removes the aqueous liquid from the disinfected waste in the dewatering stage and renders the product suitable for landfilling.
