Clinical waste disposal
If you’re looking for safe and compliant commercial clinical waste disposal for your business, Everflow can help.
Improper clinical waste disposal poses a serious risk to public health and the environment. Luckily, with Everflow, managing commercial clinical waste across healthcare premises, pharmacies, veterinary practices, and dental surgeries has never been easier.
What is clinical waste?
Commercial clinical waste, otherwise known as medical waste, is any waste that a business produces during medical, nursing, veterinary or dental activities. This could include items such as bandages, gloves, swabs, needles, anatomical or pharmaceutical waste. If businesses don’t handle this type of waste properly, it can cause serious infection, injury or contamination risks.
In the UK, businesses produce around 156,000 tonnes of clinical waste annually, and with a volume so high, organisations have a shared responsibility to ensure proper segregation, storage, collection and disposal.

Luckily, at Everflow, we’re just a phone call away to ensure your waste goes through appropriate collection and disposal routes.
Sharps bin collection and disposal
If your business produces sharps waste, such as needles, syringes or any other waste items that are capable of causing injury, chances are you will need appropriate sharps bin containers.

At Everflow, we can provide your organisation with dedicated sharps bin containers and ensure safe disposal of the waste once items are ready for collection.
