Clinical waste from households
We offer two free services: A weekly orange sack collection and a one-off yellow sharps box collection.
What goes in your clinical waste
Orange sacks
- Swabs and contaminated dressings
- Dialysis waste
- Drugs and Pharmaceuticals which you cannot return to your pharmacist or drug store
- Excreta and body fluids

We do not collect waste generated by a district nurse - this will be taken by the nurse.
Please note that incontinence pads can be double bagged and placed in with your domestic waste.
