Clinical waste bags and sharps bins are not collected by the normal household rubbish collection vehicle. A separate vehicle collects them on a specific round.

One-off clinical waste collections
If you don't produce much clinical waste or you only need a collection once, please request a one-off clinical waste collection.
You will need to do this each time you want us to make a collection.
Please note we will not leave you with a replacement bag on this service or a sharps bin with this service.
Once we receive your request, our contractor will contact you by telephone to confirm your collection.
