Medical waste

Medical waste such as dialysis bags, colostomy bags, incontinence pads, bandages and other items contaminated with bodily fluids should be sealed in a plastic bag and disposed in your red landfill bin.

Households that generate excessive quantities of medical waste resulting from a verified permanent or long-term medical condition can request a Specific Waste Bin Collection Service. Have the form completed and stamped by your medical practitioner and submit to Council. If approved, your red landfill bin will be serviced weekly at no additional cost.
