Hospitals pay to have their clinical waste incinerated.
When I worked for the NHS anything that was contaminated by bodily fluids(blood, pus, urine, feaces, vomitus etc) was deemed clinical waste.
I Googled last night to see if I could find anything relating to domestically generated clinical waste, and to see what regulations there were.......all that I managed to find out was that Canterbury are implementing the same policy as HBC.
I would not like to be one of the refuse operators dealing with such waste.......there has to be some risk involved.......you only need for something sharp to have perforated the plastic bag(double bagged or not) and there is a risk to the operative.
