Local clinical waste removal in Plymouth

Plymouth is a large naval and port city on Devon's south coast, rebuilt after wartime bombing, with a major dockyard, a university and long-established waterfront districts. That is where we come in: we provide clinical waste removal on behalf of GP surgeries, care homes, pharmacies, private clinics, aesthetics and tattoo studios, vets and other businesses throughout Plymouth, including Mutley, Mannamead and Stoke.

We handle clinical waste removal for GP surgeries, care homes, pharmacies, private clinics, aesthetics and tattoo studios, vets and other businesses in Plymouth every week. The work is done to a high standard, at a clear price and finished on time.

With rural surgeries, veterinary practices, beauty and aesthetics studios and city hospitals, Devon produces a lot of healthcare and clinical waste, and we run collections across South West every week.

Many Plymouth studios and clinics fill only a few sharps containers a year, so a low-volume or on-request service often suits them best.

What do the different clinical waste colours mean?

Under HTM 07-01 guidance, orange is infectious waste suitable for alternative treatment, yellow is infectious or medicinally contaminated waste that must be incinerated, yellow-and-black tiger stripes are offensive waste, purple is cytotoxic and cytostatic waste, blue is non-cytotoxic medicines, red is anatomical waste and white is dental amalgam. Sharps containers follow the same idea, with orange, yellow and purple lids for the different contents.
