Clinical waste collections

Summary

Surgical needles

We arrange for the collection of clinical waste from domestic premises free of charge. Clinical waste includes needles/syringes, incontinence pads, stoma bags and dressings.

This type of waste must not be put in with the normal refuse collection.

How to request a clinical waste collection

  1. Contact us online, or by e-mail, telephone or letter (our details are at the foot of this page);
  2. 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.
