Clinical Waste: Safe and Compliant Solutions for Healthcare Businesses

GP surgeries, dental practices, care homes, and private clinics all produce healthcare waste that must be handled with extra care. From sharps and dressings to PPE and pharmaceuticals, these waste streams are tightly regulated in the UK to protect public health and the environment.

At Benji Waste, we provide specialist clinical waste services that keep healthcare providers safe, compliant, and cost-efficient.

Why Clinical Waste Matters for Healthcare Clients

Compliance with Regulations

Clinical waste is covered by the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and enforced by the Environment Agency. Healthcare providers must ensure all waste is stored securely, collected by a licensed carrier, and disposed of at approved facilities.

Protecting Staff and Patients

Improper disposal of sharps or infectious materials creates serious health and safety risks. Secure containers and regular collections help protect staff, patients, and the public.

Reputation and Trust

Patients expect healthcare providers to uphold the highest standards of care—even after treatment. Responsible waste management reinforces that trust.

Common Clinical Waste Challenges

• Safe storage of sharps, dressings, and PPE

• Keeping up with complex and changing healthcare waste rules

• Managing high waste volumes in busy medical or care settings

• Maintaining audit-ready documentation for inspections

• Balancing compliance with cost control
