Biohazardous Waste Removal

Biohazardous waste (which includes sub-categories Clinical & Related, Anatomical, Cytotoxic & Pharmaceutical Wastes) normally refers to waste products that cannot be considered general waste, produced from healthcare premises, such as hospitals.

Disposal of this waste is an environmental concern, as many medical wastes are classified as infectious or biohazardous and could potentially lead to the spread of infectious disease. Examples of infectious waste include blood, potentially contaminated "sharps" such as needles and scalpels, and identifiable body parts. Infectious waste is often incinerated, and is usually sterilized if it is to be placed in a landfill.

SteriHealth offer Biohazardous waste disposal services to cater for all situations:

 Clinical Waste including Sharps can be Sterilized or Chemically treated (combined with shredding) prior to disposal at registered landfill

 Infectious waste, cytotoxic waste and body parts (anatomical & animal) can be incinerated at one of our incineration sites throughout Australia
