Clinical waste
1. Overview
We offer a free collection service to households for your used needles and medical bags. If you have used sharps and/or clinical bags, we can collect them and get rid of them for you.
We offer three services:
- Exchanges (in partnership with Cannon Hygiene) - we can set up a weekly collection and delivery service for your sharps box or medical bags.
- Collection only - if you would like a one-off collection of a sharps box or clinical bag, we can arrange this for you
- Delivery only - if you are a new user and need a one-off delivery of a sharps box or clinical bag, we will arrange this for you.
Please note that pharmacies in Gravesham do not accept clinical waste.
If you're in a nursing home the nursing home should arrange the clinical collections through whoever normally collects their waste.
