Clinical waste collection and disposal

Clinical waste is produced by private households, as well as hospitals, nursing homes and doctors' surgeries.

Households

Waste is classified as clinical if it is infectious and cannot be put into the normal waste stream.

This is normally assessed by a district nurse or health care professional.

Once referred, the clinical waste service will deliver some yellow clinical waste sacks and advise the resident of their collection day and other service requirements.

If you think you need this service please contact your healthcare worker directly so they can refer you to us.
