COSHH files with guidelines and instructions on how to dispose of any kept substances that are hazardous to health can be found within each of your care services. Clinical yellow bags, must be labelled and sealed correctly then placed in the bin area where they are collected by a contractor on a weekly basis. Used sharps such as needles should be placed in a yellow sharps bin provided by your local doctors, hospital or pharmacy and returned to these places when full so they can be disposed of correctly. Out of date or refused medication should be recorded within your service and then collected by a contractor who then returns to the pharmacy for disposal.
