What Is Clinical Waste?

Clinical waste is any waste product of activities in the media, dental or laboratory sectors that may pose an ongoing risk of infection or contamination. So materials such as used bandages, dressings and swabs are classic forms of clinical waste. So are sharps, syringes and disposable instruments. Used PPE can also be clinical waste if it is contaminated.

Clinical waste doesn’t just come from hospitals, care homes and other forms of direct patient care. Veterinary work and some cosmetic or pharmaceutical procedures can also generate what is classed as clinical waste.

Novus Environmental are experts in the collection of clinical waste. We understand that handling these materials carries significant risks, and that managing these correctly is essential to protect patients and staff, as well as the public and the environment. We ensure your organisation avoids these risks – as well as legal and reputational hazards – with our fully compliant and dependable collection and disposal process.

Our clinical waste collection service is designed to be tailored to suit the needs of all healthcare organisations, whatever their size. From a single GP practice to a nationwide chain, a university department or a major biomedical research centre, Novus Environmental provides reliable and compliant collection services that suit your business, your site and your schedule.

We already handle the collection of clinical waste from hospitals, private clinics, pharmacies, laboratories and care homes. We also provide our specialist services such as dental clinical waste collection and services for veterinary practices and aesthetic treatment providers. So you can be sure that we have the scale, skills and experience to meet your own requirements.

Each one of our collections is made by our fully trained and ADR-certified drivers.

For organisations with occasional outputs or small amounts of waste, we can also provide a one-off clinical waste collection service. This offers flexibility and convenience without the need for a long-term contract.
