Clinical waste removal across Wigan and Greater Manchester

Wigan is former coal and cotton town in western Greater Manchester, known for rugby league and Wigan Pier, with good motorway access and affordable housing. We provide clinical waste removal right across Wigan, including Goose Green and Platt Bridge out to Pemberton.

We handle clinical waste removal for GP surgeries, care homes, pharmacies, private clinics, aesthetics and tattoo studios, vets and other businesses in Wigan regularly. The work is done to a high standard, priced clearly and finished on time.

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

Care homes across Greater Manchester produce large volumes of pad waste, and moving it from infectious bags to tiger bags where appropriate can lower costs.

What is the difference between orange and yellow bag waste?

Orange bag waste is infectious waste that can be made safe by alternative treatment, such as heat treatment, before final disposal. Yellow bag waste must be incinerated, usually because it is contaminated with medicines or chemicals, or because it is a type of waste that is not suitable for alternative treatment. Putting orange-stream waste in yellow bags costs more than it needs to.
