What is Healthcare Risk Waste (HRW)?
Healthcare Risk Waste (HRW) is waste generated during patient care, diagnosis or treatment that may pose a risk of infection or contamination. This includes items such as blood-contaminated dressings, swabs, PPE, sharps and pharmaceutical waste. We provide compliant collection, transportation and treatment solutions to help healthcare providers across Ireland manage HRW safely and in line with Irish regulations.
How often should medical waste be collected?
The right collection schedule depends on the type and volume of healthcare waste your organisation generates. We offer flexible collection frequencies, from weekly and fortnightly collections to bespoke schedules for higher-volume facilities. Our team will recommend a service that suits your operational needs while helping you remain compliant
What medical waste containers are required?
The correct containers depend on the type of healthcare waste you produce. We supply a complete range of colour-coded healthcare waste bags, sharps containers, pharmaceutical waste containers and rigid containers to support safe waste segregation. Our team can advise you on the most appropriate containers for your facility and ensure you have everything you need to manage healthcare waste safely.
How should sharps waste be disposed of in Ireland?
Sharps such as needles, syringes and scalpels should always be disposed of in approved sharps containers immediately after use. Once the container is full, we collect it as part of your scheduled healthcare waste service and transport it for compliant treatment and disposal. Sharps should never be placed in general waste bins.
What happens to collected healthcare waste?
Once we collect your healthcare waste, it is safely transported by our authorised team to a licensed treatment facility. The waste is treated using approved processes appropriate to its classification before being disposed of or recovered where possible. Throughout the entire process, we maintain full traceability and compliance, giving you complete confidence that your healthcare waste has been managed responsibly.
