Healthcare Waste Containers for Safe Waste Segregation

Home | Services | Healthcare Waste Containers for Safe Waste Segregation

Correct waste segregation begins with using the right healthcare waste container. Every healthcare waste stream requires a specific colour-coded bag, sharps container or rigid container to help ensure safe handling, compliant storage and appropriate disposal.

KeyGreen supplies a comprehensive range of healthcare waste containers for healthcare providers across Ireland. Whether you operate a GP practice, hospital, dental clinic, pharmacy, veterinary clinic or specialist healthcare facility, we can provide the right containers to support your healthcare waste management requirements.

Our experienced team can recommend the most suitable healthcare waste containers based on your organisation, the waste streams you generate and your collection requirements, including Healthcare Risk Waste (HRW), sharps, pharmaceutical and anatomical waste.
