Clinical waste is any waste that poses a threat of infection to humans. It requires a special collection and disposal arrangements (incineration) and includes the following:
- Human tissue
- Blood and other bodily fluids
- Swabs and dressings
- Syringes, needles or other sharp instruments
Clinical waste must not be placed in your normal domestic refuse container
If you use incontinence pads, these can be double bagged and placed in with your normal domestic refuse.
