How is the waste segregated?

Hazardous waste (orange sacks) is waste whose collection and disposal is subject to special requirements to prevent infection.

Offensive waste (yellow tiger stripe) is waste whose collection and disposal is NOT subject to special requirements in order to prevent infection e.g dressings, plaster casts, linen, disposable clothing.

Sharps – A variety of sizes of sharps and pharmaceutical bins are available with collections on an as and when basis and are colour coded with current legislation for ease of segregation.

Cytotoxic and Cytostatic medicine bins are provided colour coded with current legislation for ease of segregation.
