Clinical and Medical Waste

The Council operates a free, discreet collection of clinical waste for householders requiring such a service. Orange plastic sacks are provided and/or 5 litre 'sharps' boxes for disposal of hypodermic needles and these are collected weekly on a Friday.

The council cannot collect cytotoxic waste (purple lid sharp boxes), as this should be collected by a home visiting nurse.

You can request a sharps box delivery or collection online now .
