Clinical Waste
Clinical waste, including needles, must not be placed in your
normal sack or dustbin, it must be collected and dealt with
separately as 'special waste'.
Thanet District Council offers a free collection for
clinical waste from private households. Yellow sacks are
collected weekly and sharps boxes are normally collected on
request.
The Waste & Recycling department needs confirmation in
writing from your doctor or other medical authority before
collections can be arranged.
Please ring Waste & Recycling on (01843) 577738 or
email us for further information.
