Offensive hygiene waste disposal

Offensive hygiene waste can be disposed with your normal refuse but must be wrapped up thoroughly first (e.g. incontinence pads should be double wrapped).

Check whether your waste is hazardous clinical waste requiring separate collection.

Waste produced during treatment

If offensive hygiene waste is produced within your home during the course of home treatment administered by a healthcare service provider, it is not domestic waste. It is the service provider's responsibility to arrange the collection and disposal of this waste, not the resident's.
