Request a clinical waste collection from your home

How it works

We provide free and confidential collections of healthcare waste produced in your home.

We can collect:

  • clinical waste, including wipes, dressings, stoma bags and masks
  • needles and syringes (sharps)

If the waste results from treatment in your home by a community nurse or a healthcare professional then the disposal is their responsibility.
