What is Offensive Waste?
Offensive waste is categorised as non-infectious waste, which means that the residual health risk associated with it is low. Offensive waste includes incontinence pads, nappies, tissues, wipes, and dressings alongside PPE.
It is non-hazardous, and unlike hazardous and infectious waste, it does not require transportation as a dangerous good. However, it is essential to segregate it appropriately and label, store and dispose of it as per guidelines. Offensive waste should be segregated and disposed of in yellow and black ‘tiger stripe’ sacks.
By using Veolia’s offensive waste service you will be given a competitively priced solution that is safe and sustainable.
