Healthcare waste

Healthcare waste services from SITA UK

Healthcare waste is any waste produced by, and as a consequence of, healthcare activities. Any organisation producing healthcare waste must segregate this waste from their general dry waste stream and dispose of it appropriately.

Common healthcare waste types include:

Hygiene waste
Pharmaceutical waste
Hazardous waste
Radioactive waste
Sharps

The safe segregation, storage, carriage, treatment and disposal of these wastes is essential.

SITA UK offers a complete healthcare waste service to help our clients manage their healthcare waste, ensuring compliance with legislation and health and safety requirements.
