Laboratory & pathology
waste collection

Cultures, reagents, specimen containers and laboratory sharps, from pathology labs and research facilities.

Mixed streams, mixed rules

A laboratory is unusual in producing several genuinely different waste types side by side. Cultures are infectious. Reagents can be chemically hazardous. Broken glass is a sharps problem regardless of what was in it. Each needs its own container and its own line on the manifest, and mixing them creates a classification problem that has to be solved before anything can be collected.

Autoclaving does not end the obligation

If you autoclave on site, that changes the hazard but not the fact that the residue still has to leave through a documented route to a facility permitted to accept it. We would rather understand your on-site treatment at the assessment than discover it at the first collection.

Chemical waste needs the Safety Data Sheet

For chemical streams the manifest needs the classification and the SDS reference, which means we need to know what is in it before we move it. Sending us the list at the assessment stage saves a conversation at the loading bay later.

What we collect from you

  • Cultures, stocks and inoculated media
  • Specimen containers, tubes and slides
  • Pipettes, tips and laboratory plastics
  • Chemical reagents and stains
  • Laboratory sharps and broken glass
  • Blood products and diagnostic residue

No minimum, no contract

Month to month, priced on what you actually generate. Even if that is one container.
