Clinical waste is categorised into different types in order to ensure that each type is correctly stored and disposed of.

These categories are:

• Infectious clinical waste: this includes anything that is contaminated with bodily fluids or blood.
• Offensive clinical waste: this refers to items such as incontinence pads or nappies.
• Clinical sharps waste: this includes anything like needles, scalpels and syringes, or anything that has pierced the skin.
• Anatomical clinical waste: human or animal blood and tissue form this type of waste.
• Cytotoxic / Cytostatic waste: surplus or expired medicines, including the packaging, comes under this category, along with anything hazardous to human health.

We provide all the bags you will need to dispose of your clinical waste, including:

• Highly infectious clinical waste – yellow bag
• Clinical non-infectious waste – yellow and black bag
• Clinical infectious waste – orange bag
• Anatomical waste – red bag
• Cytotoxic and cytostatic waste – purple bag
