Clinical waste collections
Summary
The Council collects clinical waste from domestic premises free of charge. Clinical waste includes incontinence pads, stoma bags and dressings.
Incontinence pads, urinary catheter bags/tubes and stoma bags should be double-bagged and placed in your black wheelie bin. Should this extra waste become a problem please contact us.
Wound dressings, some forms of dialysis and some wound/blood catheters need a special collection. Please contact us to arrange this.
We no longer collect sharps/needles. Your local surgery should provide you with a sharps container.
How to request a clinical waste collection
- Contact us online, or by e-mail, telephone or letter (our details are at the foot of this page);
- Information we will need from you:
- your full name;
- your full address including your postcode;
- your home telephone number and a number which we can contact you on during normal office hours if this is different;
- your email address (if applicable);
- the type of waste to be collected;
- the amount to be collected each week;
- if the collection is a temporary or permanent arrangement, and;
- any details of carers.
Once we have this information it will take around seven -10 days to set up the collection service. The collection service providers will contact you in this time.
