You can use this form to arrange the safe collection of clinical or medical waste.

Medical waste bags can be used to dispose of:

  • soiled bandages

Before you start, things you need to know:

  • if you have not arranged the first collection through your GP, we will not be able to process your request
  • your medical waste bag must be tied securely
  • your medical waste bag must not weigh more than 11 kilograms

Before you start, you will need to tell us:

  • how many bags that should be collected and delivered
