What do you need to know about clinical or medical waste?
Medical waste is generated by medical or healthcare professionals including hospitals, medical centres, dentists, pharmacies, veterinary hospitals, aged care facilities and research and pathology facilities.
Materials include needles and sharps, human or animal tissues, body fluids, bandages, instruments, samples, bloods, medical devices and radioactive medical waste.
All these are materials that pose significant health, safety or environmental risks when disposed of improperly and so require specific reporting and transport requirements for compliant disposal.
Medical waste streams typically can’t be sent straight to conventional landfill; these include substances defined under the Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods. These waste streams must be pre-treated to a level that satisfies the Waste Classification Guidelines.
Common medical waste types include:
- Clinical or biohazardous waste
- Cytotoxic waste
- Pharmaceutical waste
- Anatomical waste
- Sanitary waste
- Laboratory waste
- X-rays
- Amalgam
Each material must be assessed in order to be collected, processed and disposed of properly, in accordance with relevant regulations.

What happens to your waste?
Waste such as unused chemicals, x-rays, single use steel surgical instruments, clean plastics and uncontaminated sterile wrap are easily recyclable. Ideally separated at source, these are taken to our specialist recycling facilities where they are sterilised and then processed into new products.
Any other waste that cannot be safely recycled is taken to state-of-the-art medical waste treatment facilities where they are securely incinerated at high temperatures to remove any toxins or contaminants and then safely disposed of at a suitably licensed landfill.
