Understanding Clinical Waste
In the hospitality industry, clinical waste includes items contaminated with bodily fluids, such as used plasters, gloves, and sanitary products. It’s essential for businesses like restaurants, pubs, clubs, and cafés to manage this waste effectively to maintain hygiene standards and comply with legal requirements.
Types of Clinical Waste
Cost-Effective Waste Management
Sanitary and Nappy Bins vs. Plumbers for Blocked Drains
Investing in proper sanitary and nappy bins is not only a legal requirement but also a massive cost-saving measure. Blocked drains caused by flushing inappropriate items can lead to costly plumbing services. Proper bins prevent these issues, ensuring smooth operations without unexpected plumbing bills and can even be cheaper than just one emergency plumbing call out!
Maintaining Washroom Standards
You’ve spent a fortune making your washrooms look fantastic—don’t undermine this effort by using substandard bins. Proper clinical waste bins are designed to contain waste securely, preventing leaks and odours, and ensuring a clean, pleasant environment for your patrons.

Always turn up as agreed, responsive and efficient service. Would definitely recommend Joan cooper Never have concerns, a prompt response from admin p Kerry Snell I want to take the opportunity to thank you and the team for how smoothly the transition from our previous contractor has been and the work you are all doing for us. From the initial phone call, together with all other communications, we have so far received first class service which we are very appreciative of. The collections are going well and we have had no issues with anything being left behind or not collected. An all round excellent service which is very much appreciated by me, particularly given the chaotic nature of what I was dealing with for many months before we moved to you! Thank you!
