Waste disposal
Domestic clinical waste
Although the Council does provide a free collection service for private individuals of diabetic waste, it is current policy to charge for the collection of all other clinical waste types. In light of these charges, we recommend that private individuals should contact their health visitor, GP, district nurse or home care assistant, who can arrange for free collections to take place.
