Clinical Waste Collection & Disposal Process
Clinical waste includes anything contaminated by body fluids, sharp instruments, pharmaceutical products, or chemicals used in medical procedures. If these waste types are not managed and disposed of with the utmost precision, clinical waste poses severe risks to healthcare workers, patients, the wider community, and the environment.
Our clinical waste disposal service is designed to mitigate these risks effectively. We utilise state-of-the-art technology and procedures to ensure that all clinical waste is handled, transported, and disposed of safely.
Clinical Waste Collection
We collect clinical waste safely and efficiently using approved containers, such as sharps boxes, pharmaceutical bins, and offensive waste sacks. All materials collected are fully documented for compliance and pre-acceptance audits.
Clinical Waste Treatment
All clinical waste is treated and disposed of in line with UK regulations. Waste streams, including sharps, human and animal tissue, and other biological materials, are treated at approved facilities using incineration or high-temperature treatment.
Clinical Waste Disposal
Our processes use advanced treatment technologies and include a certificate of destruction. Utilising high-temperature incineration, for example, we effectively eradicate pathogens, while capturing energy to contribute back to the grid.
Professional Clinical Waste Management
Clinical waste management is a legal requirement for any healthcare facility or medical business producing contaminated or infectious materials. We offer a fully compliant clinical waste service for hospitals, surgeries, dental practices, laboratories, and veterinary centres. Our subject matter experts help you segregate waste correctly, meet all regulatory requirements, and avoid risk of infection. We handle everything from sharps and syringes to offensive waste and biologically active pharmaceutical agents.
Each collection is logged, tracked, and visible through our Waste Management Portal for contracted customers. This gives you full traceability and peace of mind that your clinical waste is disposed of correctly every time.
