Clinical, Healthcare & Hazardous Waste
Clinical Waste is produced by many different types of businesses. The most obvious being hospitals, clinics and dentists, but it is also produced in any business with a first aid room, veterinary practices and laboratories to name a few.
Hazardous waste doesn’t just come from healthcare businesses. It is also found in some strange places – taxidermy, pidgeon poo, waste powder coating powder.
Healthcare waste is the most common source of potentially infectious waste, mostly through blood and saliva.
Your trusted partner for Clinical Waste Management
At Professional Hygiene, we specialise in safe, ethical, compliant and environmentally responsible management of all types of clinical waste. All our clinical and offensive waste goes for recycling or Energy from Waste plants.
Pet Waste
Not only does pet waste smell offensive, it is legally classed as offensive waste.
How we manage your pet waste
- Wheelie bin service: We supply a sealed, bagged and lockable 140ltr wheelie bin for your site. At each service, we carry out a bin swap replacing your full bin with a clean, sterilised and bagged empty bin ensuring a seamless and hygienic waste disposal process.
- Flexible frequency options: We tailor our collection schedule to suit you. We can collect weekly, fortnightly or every four weeks.
- Generating electricity from poo: Yes, that’s right! Your pet waste gets sent to an Energy from Waste plant that produces electricity by burning the waste.
- Waste is diverted from landfill: Visit our Sustainability page to see how much offensive we have sent for incineration.

- Catteries
- Dog walking sites

Offensive Waste
What is Offensive (tiger bag) Waste?
Offensive waste can often cause an unpleasant order but is, by definition, a level between general waste (black bag) and potentially infectious waste (orange bag) and is called a tiger bag as it is yellow with black stripes.
The most common offensive waste streams:
- Sanitary waste
- Nappy/ incontinence waste
- Animal Faeces
- Tattoo waste
- Dental waste is now included in this category as long as IT IS NON-INFECTIOUS
Generating Energy From Waste
Our offensive waste is sent to an Energy from Waste plant within a mile of our transfer station to be incinerated. Electricity is produced by burning the waste.
