How to Dispose of Healthcare Waste

Proper disposal of healthcare waste is crucial to protect the public, waste handlers, and the environment.

Classify your waste : Identify and classify all healthcare waste. Use the correct receptacles that are clearly labelled with the type of waste such as sharps, infectious waste or pharmaceutical waste, and include relevant safety information.

Store waste safely : Store healthcare waste in secure, designated areas. Use appropriate bins for storing any infectious waste and ensure they are kept locked.

Arrange authorised collection : Use a reputable and registered waste carrier for the collection, transportation and disposal of healthcare-related waste, ensuring they comply with all relevant regulations.

Be prepared for emergencies : Develop and implement an emergency response plan specific to healthcare waste. This should include procedures for handling sharps injuries, potential infection transmission and other incidents.

Seek professional advice : Consult with waste experts for guidance on handling specific types of healthcare waste. They can provide advice on classification, packaging and disposal methods.

Complete necessary documentation : Fill out all required documentation including waste container labels and waste transfer notes to ensure proper tracking and compliance throughout the disposal process.
