Offensive & Clinical waste

With a number of high profile healthcare customers B&M Waste Services have developed systems and processes that are second to none. We work with our healthcare customers to reduce landfill and incineration levels, which are harmful to the environment, and in doing so reduce the cost of waste management, as recycling levels are increased.

•  We have found many organisations are putting the majority of their offensive waste into clinical waste bags and sending this to incineration, at a significant cost.
•  B&M will undertake a thorough waste stream audit and identify all the main waste storage locations.
•  Following this we will do a full risk assessment and produce a method statement. B&M’s method statement also covers the detail of disposal of offensive waste once it leaves your site.
• By introducing a clear segregation system, B&M can reduce your impact on the environment and help you to save money

B&M can show its commitment to Total Waste Management clients by offering to hold a number of training days to assist you in communicating to essential personnel, including waste operatives, domestic staff, technical staff and matrons.

This is done under the guidance of the offensive waste team who are on hand at the training to answer any questions as they arise. Our interactive presentation allows staff to understand the new system and raise any questions. Staff who attend training will be given an information ‘passport’ card to use as a quick reference point outlining the new waste streams.

According to a report by the Royal College of Nursing, millions of pounds are being lost by putting offensive waste into clinical waste streams.

B&M can help improve your healthcare organisation’s environmental and financial performance and your recycling rate for ERIC reports as part of a Total Waste Management package.
