Supporting healthcare facilities across the UK, including urgent care dental practices, Initial Medical is offering a collection and disposal service for waste contaminated or potentially contaminated with coronavirus.

According to government guidance, any waste generated from the treatment of known or suspected coronavirus patients must be disposed of as Category B waste. That means orange on the Department of Health's best practice colour code for waste disposal, including the relevant bags, rigid containers and sharps containers.

Available to help customers stay compliant in any situation, Initial Medical now offers your go-to solution for safe collection and disposal of any waste possibly contaminated with coronavirus. Give the team a call today for more information.

As a producer of any controlled waste in the UK, it is your legal responsibility under your Duty of Care to ensure the correct and proper management of the waste you generate. In order to support your waste disposal practices, Initial Medical's unique e-learning platform 'myLearning' provides a flexible solution to waste management and infection control training, and is accessible 24/7.
