Clinical waste disposal
We provide a free Clinical Waste Collection service from domestic premises only within the district. To receive a clinical collection, youll need to register for the service.
To register, your healthcare professional (Doctor, District Nurse, Hospital or Primary Care Trust) will need to complete a referral form on your behalf and send it to us. We're unable to arrange a collection without their referral form. You'll need to request the form authorising this service from your healthcare provider.
Once you're registered, you'll be able to book either an Ad Hoc collection, which is an on-request service, or a Scheduled collection.
Once we've processed your request, we'll provide a sharps box and then collect your clinical waste regularly on a like-for-like basis.
If this is the first time you've arranged a collection, you can ring 0300 300 0013 to confirm you are registered.
If you live in the Winchester City Council district you will need to request your sharps box/clinical sacks to be collected by 11am Monday in order to have it collected in the same week.
Please note, if you are booking by phone you will need to call by 12pm.
Please leave the sharps box/clinical sacks presented for collection at the agreed point and visible to our collection driver no later than 7am on the morning of your collection day.
If you would like further information about this service or clarification about the different types of clinical waste then please contact us on 0300 300 0013.
