Frequently Asked Questions

What distinguishes special waste in dentistry, one might wonder?

Well, special waste in the realm of dentistry pertains to refuse that carries the potential for contagion or infection. Such waste is typically categorised as hazardous and ought to be entrusted solely to authorised entities for collection and proper disposal. The foremost peril associated with special waste in dentistry resides in the transmission of infectious maladies, such as HIV or TB.

What waste goes in a yellow bag?

Yellow bags are used for infectious waste and contain items that need to be incinerated. This could include teeth, teeth with fillings, medicines and anaesthetics, used or unused syringes, as well as highly infectious waste such as infected blood. Yellow bags must only be used for high-risk waste and must be collected and disposed of on a frequent basis.

How do you dispose of lead aprons?

You can dispose of a lead apron by contacting your local recycling company. Scrap metal companies can often take waste lead aprons and recycle them to create new lead aprons. If this isn’t an option, you can contact a hazardous waste handling company to pick up the apron and dispose of it appropriately. Failing that, you can also bring the apron to landfill, though depending on the apron’s toxicity this may not be possible. The landfill site is required to test the apron for its toxicity before accepting it for disposal. If in doubt, contact the apron’s original manufacturer to seek further guidance or to check if they offer a disposal service.
