Enquire about an infectious waste collectionNon-infectious waste
You do not need to request a clinical waste collection for non-infectious clinical waste. This includes:
- incontinence products
- stoma bags
- catheter bags
- dressings
Instead, place these items in a securely tied bin liner and dispose of them with your normal household rubbish. If you need an extra or larger bin for non-infectious waste, you can request one free of charge.
