Clinical Waste
Needles and syringes must not be placed in your normal household rubbish.
Most producers of clinical waste have a support service which includes collection of their waste. Please use the following advice for the disposal of household clinical waste:
Sharps (e.g. needles) - GP'S and local Police Stations have sharps boxes.
Nappies or incontinence pads - can be disposed through the normal refuse collection service
Out-of-date medicines - local chemists will accept out-of-date medicines for proper disposal
For advice on other household generated clinical waste, call the Medical Transport Services on: (01202) 851322.
Residential or Nursing homes should contact the environmental agency on: (01258) 456080.
