Quick and easy to book. No long delays. Driver phoned before arriving and then arrived on time. Team were polite and courteous. Cleared the rubbish in 15 minutes. Great service. Far more convenient than having a skip blocking the drive for a few days.

How should sharps waste be stored before collection?2024-03-03T21:20:18+00:00

Sharps waste must be stored in rigid, puncture-resistant, leak-proof, and sealable containers. These containers should be labeled clearly as hazardous to prevent accidental handling and ensure safety before disposal.
