in York
Clinical waste bags are colour coded to indicate what you put in them. Yellow bags are designated for waste that is contaminated with chemicals, while waste that has bodily fluids on it goes into orange bags.
Many businesses and clinics that have patients or carry out procedures on people/animals will need these clinical waste bags. These include:
GPs
Dentists
Veterinary practices
Tattoo parlours
In York, we dispose of these bags using the specific methods stated in the regulations. It is essential that the correct bags are used and that they are removed professionally.
Sharps bins
in York
Clinical sharps bins exist for safely disposing of blades, needles and other sharp implements used to carry out procedures on humans or animals. They, too, are colour coded – for example:
Yellow lidded boxes: for medicinal contamination of sharps
Red lidded boxes: for anatomical waste or animal carcasses
Purple lidded boxes: for sharps contaminated with cytotoxic or cytostatic waste
Any facility that delivers medicinal therapies in York is likely to need yellow lidded sharps boxes. Similarly, veterinary practices or facilities doing anatomical procedures will probably need red lidded boxes. Purple lids tend to be required at facilities offering chemotherapy and other such treatments. There are various other lid colours.
