Clinical Waste Management for Veterinary Practices

Veterinary waste encompasses various types of waste materials generated during veterinary practices. Proper disposal of this waste is crucial for ensuring the safety of the environment and public health. Here is a breakdown of the different types of veterinary waste:

Offensive Waste (“Tiger Sacks”)

Offensive waste, also known as “tiger sacks,” includes non-infectious waste that may cause offense due to its appearance or smell. This category typically consists of materials such as pet bedding, non infectious wipes, gowns and paper towels.

Hazardous Waste (“Orange Sacks”)

Hazardous waste, commonly disposed of in “orange sacks,” includes materials contaminated with harmful pathogens or chemicals. Examples include used gloves, gowns, and other items that have come into contact with infectious agents.

Sharps

Sharps waste includes items such as needles, syringes, and scalpels. It is crucial to dispose of sharps safely to prevent injury and contamination. This category also includes cytostatic and cytotoxic waste, which are substances used in chemotherapy and other medical treatments and all come in a variety of sizes.

Pharmaceutical Bins

Pharmaceutical bins are used for the disposal of expired or unused medications. These bins come in various sizes to accommodate different volumes of pharmaceutical waste.

Sanitary Waste

Sanitary waste includes items such as sanitary towels, tampons, and other hygiene products used in customer toilets and staff washrooms. Proper disposal of sanitary waste is essential to maintain cleanliness and hygiene in your facility.
