Safe Biohazard Waste Disposal for Clinics

Clinics generate different waste streams that must be separated, contained and collected correctly. Safe biohazard waste disposal starts at the point where waste is created.

Key clinic waste streams

• Sharps waste such as needles, lancets and blades.
• Infectious soft waste such as suitable gloves, swabs, gauze and dressings.
• Pharmaceutical waste such as expired or damaged medicine waste.
• Anatomical waste where applicable.

Clinic best practices

Use the correct container for each waste stream, keep filled containers secure and arrange collection before containers become overfilled.
