Information is available from the Department of Health regarding safe management of healthcare waste.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) must be recycled. This applies to computers, TVs, fridges, freezers, laboratory equipment etc.
Items that originate from a laboratory environment, such as fridges used to store reagents etc, must be certified as free from contamination. Please complete the WEEE waste decontamination certificate form and we will arrange for its collection and disposal.
Once the SHE office has recieved the completed form we will contact you to arrange for the waste to be disposed of.
St Georges has a moral and legal duty to dispose of its waste in a responsible manner. As a busy research and educational organisation we produce a broad range of waste. It is important that waste disposal is built into all procedures and that it is categorised and segregated appropriately.
