A medical waste fluid collection and disposal system includes a medical waste fluid collection cart including first and second fluid collection canisters. A valve assembly selectively communicates with the canisters and a valve drive system controls the valve assembly. A liquid level sensor is positioned within each of the canisters. A cart processor communicates with the liquid level sensors and the valve drive system. A cart drain line communicates with the valve assembly and a receptacle, a cart flushing line communicates with the valve assembly and the receptacle and a cart data line and a cart power line communicate with the cart processor and the cart receptacle. A station includes a drain pump that communicates with a drainage system and a station drain line, a flushing pump that communicates with a source of washing liquid and a station flushing line and a station processor in communication with the drain and flushing pumps. A station data line communicates with the station processor. A coupler communicates with the station drain line, flushing line and the station data line and a station power line. The station coupler removably engages the cart receptacle so operation of the cart and station components can be coordinated by the processors for drainage and flushing of the cart canisters.

1. A lid for a medical waste collection canister, the lid comprising: a head portion comprising: three cylindrical suction ports extending along a first, second, and third longitudinal axis, respectively, each suction port having a first diameter and each suction port adapted to be connected to suction tubing and further adapted to receive medical waste through a top of the suction port and pass the medical waste through a bottom of the suction port;a cylindrical auxiliary vacuum port extending along a fourth longitudinal axis and having a second diameter; anda plurality of tabs spaced apart along a circumferential edge of the head portion; anda cylindrical portion coupled to the head portion and extending away from a bottom of the head portion along a fifth longitudinal axis,wherein each of the suction ports and the vacuum port have a cap that is tethered to the lid, each cap sized to correspond to a size of the suction ports or vacuum port. 2. The lid of claim 1, wherein a diameter of the head portion is greater than a diameter of the cylindrical portion. 3. The lid of claim 1, wherein each cap is tethered to the lid on the head portion at a position above the plurality of tabs. 4. The lid of claim 1, wherein the second diameter of the vacuum port is greater than the first diameter of each suction port. 5. The lid of claim 1, wherein the head portion further comprises indicia to identify at least one of the suction ports and vacuum port. 6. The lid of claim 1, wherein each cap comprises indicia thereon to indicate a corresponding port for each cap. 7. The lid of claim 1, wherein the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth longitudinal axes are substantially parallel. 8. The lid of claim 1, wherein the plurality of tabs form a part of a bayonet mount. 9. The lid of claim 1, further comprising a filter in communication with the vacuum port. 10. The lid of claim 9, wherein the filter is a hydrophobic filter. 11. A method, comprising: aligning a lid for a medical waste collection canister with a plurality of notches disposed in and extending along a portion of a length of a sidewall of an aperture in communication with an interior of the medical waste collection canister, the lid comprising: a head portion comprising: three cylindrical suction ports extending along a first, second, and third longitudinal axis, respectively, each suction port adapted to be connected to suction tubing and further adapted to receive medical waste through a top of the suction port and pass the medical waste through a bottom of the suction port;a cylindrical auxiliary vacuum port extending along a fourth longitudinal axis; anda plurality of tabs extending radially outward from and spaced apart along a circumferential edge of the head portion; anda cylindrical portion coupled to the head portion and extending away from a bottom of the head portion along a fifth longitudinal axis,inserting the lid into the aperture so that each of the plurality of tabs are engaged in a corresponding one of the plurality of notches; androtating the lid relative to the aperture in a first direction so that the plurality of tabs move into horizontal slots disposed in the sidewall of the aperture that are in communication with the notches. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein rotating the lid relative to the aperture in the first direction further comprises rotating the lid until the lid is secured in the aperture. 13. The method of claim 11, further comprising attaching at least one tube to at least one of the three suction ports or the vacuum port. 14. The method of claim 11, wherein each of the three suction ports and the vacuum port have a cap that is tethered to the lid, each cap sized to correspond to a size of the three suction ports or vacuum port; and further comprising engaging the cap corresponding to at least one of the three suction ports or the vacuum port. 15. The method of claim 11, wherein each cap is tethered to the lid on the head portion at a position above the plurality of tabs. 16. The method of claim 11, further comprising rotating the lid in a second direction opposite the first direction to move the plurality of tabs into the notches. 17. The method of claim 16, further comprising removing the lid from the aperture. 18. The method of claim 11, wherein a diameter of the head portion is greater than a diameter of the cylindrical portion. 19. The method of claim 11, wherein a second diameter of the vacuum port is greater than a first diameter of each of the three suction ports. 20. The method of claim 11, wherein the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth longitudinal axes are substantially parallel. 21. The method of claim 11, further comprising a filter in communication with the vacuum port.
