Primary Care Waste Management Services
Children’s day centres and primary care services generate a mix of clinical and hygiene waste through childcare activities, first aid treatment, minor medical procedures and routine health support. This waste must be handled safely, stored securely and disposed of in full compliance with UK healthcare and environmental regulations.
