This waste should be bagged and disposed of in your general household waste. If you require a larger bin to contain extra waste due to this please contact us. If you have waste medicines these can be taken to any pharmacy for safe disposal.
How it is collected
Clinical waste is collected in single-use orange or yellow sacks and we will arrange for a contractor to provide you with bags and then make the collections from outside your property.
The clinical waste collection must be from a domestic dwelling.
