Clinical Waste Collection Service

We provide a separate free weekly collection service, to householders who need

to dispose of medical waste as a result of treatment at home.  Clinical items must

not be placed in with your normal rubbish, but stored and presented in either a

yellow clinical waste bag (swabs/dressings/pads) or a yellow plastic sharps container

(needles/blades) - these are provided to residents free of charge.

Please note that we do not collect clinical waste from commercial premises - arrangements should be made

with a private contractor (external link to The Yellow Pages) >>

Collections are normally arranged by a health visitor, district nurse or home care assistant, but residents

can contact the Council directly themselves.

All clinical waste is taken to the Energy Recovery Facility in Portsmouth, for incineration

Disposal of syringes

If you find a syringe or needle discarded around the borough, do not attempt to remove it yourself. 

Please notify the council immediately, so we can safely dispose of it as quickly as possible.
