Anatomical clinical waste must be stored in a red-lidded sharps bin or red clinical waste bags and will be sent for incineration.

Any medicinal products that are cytotoxic or cytostatic or any items that have come into contact with these types of drugs are classified as cytotoxic and cytostatic waste.
