Medical Waste Collection and Disposal Services

Find the right medical waste collection information

Medical waste collection requirements depend on the materials your organisation produces, their classification and how they need to be stored and transferred. A practice generating used sharps and routine offensive waste may need different arrangements from one producing infectious dressings, pharmaceutical waste or materials contaminated with cytotoxic medicines.

Use the service pages below to explore the relevant waste streams before making an enquiry. Each page focuses on the nature of the waste, the information needed to discuss collection and the practical considerations associated with that category.

For an overview of mixed waste requirements, start with Medical Waste Collection or Clinical Waste Disposal. If you already know the material involved, select the more specific service.

Practices reviewing container capacity, storage arrangements or collection frequency can use Medical Waste Container and Collection Planning. For help identifying relevant official guidance, visit the Medical Waste Reference Finder.

When contacting us, describe your waste streams, estimated quantities and collection location so your requirements can be reviewed.
