Clinical & Healthcare Waste
Safe collection, licensed transport, and compliant disposal of clinical waste for healthcare providers across Glasgow and the Central Belt.
Safe, Compliant Clinical Waste Collection
We handle a wide range of clinical and healthcare waste streams, ensuring they are segregated correctly, transported under licence, and treated in line with current UK regulations.
This includes orange bag infectious waste, tiger bag offensive waste, yellow bag clinical waste, and other healthcare waste generated in clinical environments. Each collection is carried out safely, with waste directed to the correct treatment route - whether that is specialist processing, energy recovery, or disposal through approved facilities.
We manage the complete waste journey so you don't have to. Your waste is collected on schedule, processed through the appropriate treatment route, and all paperwork - including Duty of Care records, EWC waste codes, and consignment notes where required - is handled as part of the service.
