Cytotoxic Waste Services

Cytotoxic waste is the by-product of cytotoxic drug therapy administered to patients (such as chemotherapy).  Cytotoxic waste typically includes all drug administrative equipment (eg. needles, syringes, dripsets etc) as well as all gowns and body fluids/waste from patients undergoing such treatment.
 
SteriHealth offer a range of purpose designed purple Cytotoxic Sharps containers, Cytotoxic Clinical Waste Pails and Cytotoxic Wheelie bins to cater for the broad range of clinical environments that this waste may be generated within.

Collection

All Cytotoxic waste MUST be collected in purple containers, which clearly display the telophase symbol in white together with the wordage "Cytotoxic Waste" printed on the container.
 
Collection, transport and handling of Cytotoxic waste must only be performed by appropriately licenced and registered waste managament companies.

Incineration

By regulation, all Cytotoxic waste must be incinerated (across all Australian states and territories)
