Ensuring compliance
Disposal of clinical waste safely and according to government regulations requires the assistance of qualified experts.
As experts in clinical waste disposal and management, we adhere to NHS and government regulations to ensure the safe handling and removal of contaminated and hazardous clinical waste.
After collecting the clinical and hazardous waste from your site, it is transported to a facility for two methods of processing: incineration or autoclaving.
Incineration is the process of burning clinical waste in a controlled environment. Autoclaving is a sterilisation method that uses high-pressure steam to kill bacteria and pathogens.
“We are very pleased with not only the quality, but also the service received from Axil. Their seamless and efficient operation allows our scientist to deliver our gold standard PCR test quickly and efficiently. Their waste services keep our labs clean and running smoothly.”

Clinical waste is a general term that refers to waste produced by healthcare and related activities that may pose an infection or environmental risk. Examples of clinical waste include used swabs, bandages and PPE, as well as lab materials and chemicals used to manufacture medicines.
Organisations that deal with clinical and hazardous waste must dispose of them at authorised sites. Specialist waste companies like Axil can help you sort your clinical waste and transport it to the appropriate sites for processing.
