Medical Waste

Medical waste includes clinical, sanitary and healthcare-related materials generated by medical centres, dental clinics, aged care facilities, laboratories and other health environments.

Healthcare Environments That Require Medical Waste Services

Medical waste management is essential for any facility that handles materials contaminated by body fluids, medical procedures, patient treatment or clinical processes. These waste streams require specialised handling to prevent infections, contamination and regulatory breaches.

Facilities that commonly require medical waste management include:

  • general medical clinics
  • dental practices
  • aged care and assisted living facilities
  • pathology labs and diagnostic centres
  • allied health practices (physio, podiatry, etc.)
  • cosmetic and dermatology clinics
  • veterinary practices
  • minor surgical and outpatient centres

Because medical waste poses health and environmental risks, a structured collection program is critical for maintaining safety and compliance.

Managing Medical Waste Safely and Responsibly

Proper medical waste management requires strict adherence to safety protocols, handling procedures and regulatory guidelines. Premier Waste supports healthcare facilities by:

  • providing compliant bins with secure lids
  • reducing contamination through proper labelling and signage
  • offering guidance on what can and cannot be placed in medical waste bins
  • ensuring waste is transported in licensed vehicles
  • delivering waste to approved treatment facilities

Our experienced operators follow detailed hygiene and safety procedures, including PPE requirements, safe bin handling and contamination control, ensuring medical waste is removed without disruption to your staff or patients.

How Much Does Medical Waste Collection Cost?

Businesses searching for medical waste collection cost, clinical waste disposal pricing,
healthcare waste service prices, or medical waste bin pricing should expect pricing to vary
based on site conditions and regulatory waste handling needs. Actual medical waste disposal
cost depends on:

  • the volume of medical waste generated
  • bin quantity
  • collection frequency
  • the type of medical waste (general clinical vs. specialised)
  • site access and handling requirements
  • regulatory disposal fees

Premier Waste can assess your facility and provide an accurate, compliant, and cost-effective
medical waste collection plan.

Approved Bin Sizes for Medical Waste

Medical waste streams must be stored in compliant containers and collected using regulated equipment. Based on operational and safety standards, medical waste is collected in:

  • 120L rear-lift bin for clinical and medical waste

This bin size is designed to ensure safe handling, controlled waste volume and compliant movement through medical environments. Multiple bins can be supplied for larger facilities, and flexible collection frequencies can be arranged to match patient volume and clinical activity.
