Clinical collection
Clinical waste is collected from domestic premises at the request of the Health Authority.
Yellow bags are provided for this purpose; they are collected and taken for incineration, as the nature of the waste requires.
The service is free based upon a one bag per week allowance.
Clinical waste is defined in the Controlled Waste Regulations 1992. It means any waste which consists wholly or partly of:
human or animal tissue;
blood or bodily fluids;
excretions;
drugs or other pharmaceutical products;
swabs or dressings; or;
syringes, needles or other sharp instruments
which unless rendered safe may prove hazardous to any person coming into contact with it. And:
Any other waste arising from medical, nursing, dental, veterinary, pharmaceutical or similar practice, investigation, treatment, care teaching or research, or the collection of blood for transfusion, being waste which may cause infection to any person coming into contact with it
If the waste is non hazardous, and as long as it is appropriately bagged and sealed, it is acceptable for the waste to be disposed of with household waste. This is usually the case with sanitary towels, nappies and incontinence pads which are not considered to be hazardous when they originate from a healthy population.
