Acupuncture clinics produce various kinds of waste that the government classifies as hazardous or potentially infectious. Acupuncture waste such as needles, used swabs and dressings must all be disposed of in compliance with UK waste regulations as they could pose a serious health risk; or even lead to fines if it isn’t disposed of correctly.
We’ve been working with acupuncture specialists for years through providing them with safe and compliant waste receptacles, and arranging regular collections and servicing. No matter how large or small your practice may be, our service can help keep your business protected, and ensure that your acupuncture waste is managed in accordance with UK law.
