Anatomical waste is always considered as potential infectious waste and must be segregated separately from other healthcare waste items.
Anatomical waste is human or animal tissue or blood, including heavily soaked materials e.g. swabs and dressings.
We will work with your organisation to provide advice and guidance - for peace of mind and safe, compliant infectious anatomical waste disposal, contact one of our specialists today.
The red waste stream is used for anatomical waste.
Red-stream waste must be sent for incineration at a suitably authorised facility. Red-lidded containers are used for recognisably anatomical waste items that may be offensive to anyone that could be exposed to them, including body or organ waste tissue and pieces of waste bone.
