Frequently Asked Questions

How can one reduce veterinary waste?

There are several steps that can be taken to diminish the volume of waste generated at a veterinary practice. These measures encompass:

  1. Reducing the utilisation of single-use plastics or analogous items on the premises.
  2. Establishing a recycling program within the practice and ensuring all staff members are well-informed about waste reduction procedures.
  3. Diligently managing inventory and supplies, with a keen awareness of medication and similar products’ expiry dates.
  4. Investing in reusable PPE attire, such as surgical masks, to minimise the disposal of numerous items in a single day.
  5. Donating surplus materials that are still serviceable to local charities; for instance, animal shelters are willing to accept contributions of bedding and blankets.
How frequently can veterinary waste be collected?

The collection of veterinary waste can be tailored to your specific requirements, depending on the quantity of waste generated daily at your facility. Consequently, you may necessitate daily, weekly, or bi-weekly collections. Our adaptable collection schedules enable you to adjust to changing needs as well.

How do veterinarians dispose of chemical waste?

Veterinarians can generate various types of chemical waste, including sterilisers, disinfectants, photographic chemicals, disinfectant agents, and x-ray solutions. These must be segregated and stored in designated chemical waste bins and containers to prevent contamination or potential harm to human health. Subsequent to collection and removal, the majority of chemical waste from a veterinary practice is safely disposed of through incineration.
