Request clinical household waste collection

Information regarding the disposal of your clinical household waste.

There are 2 types of clinical waste collection service provided by us. These services are free for householders and require the use of coloured sacks or sharps boxes.

• Group A - All human tissue including blood soiled surgical dressings, swabs and other soiled waste from treatment areas.
• Group B - Used hypodermic needles, including cytotoxic or cytostatic waste. We are unable to exchange these for a new sharps box. You will need to request a replacement from your GP.

Please do not place Group A or B waste in either your black sacks, clear recycling sacks or twin bins.

• Group E - Incontinence pads, colostomy bags, used disposable bedpans and bedpan liners. These can be placed in your black bin but should be securely placed in a plastic bag first.
