Personal care related wastes such as sanitary towels, nappies and incontinence pads. They are not considered to be hazardous.
This category of waste is known as 'offensive waste' and can be disposed of in your black sack as part of the weekly kerbside collection.
'Offensive waste' is waste that:
- is not clinical waste
- contains body fluids, secretions or excretions
- falls within code 18 01 04, 18 02 03 or 20 01 99 in Schedule 1 of the List of Wastes (England) Regulations 2005(9).
We recommend double-bagging personal care waste and presenting it at the boundary of your property by 7am on the morning of your waste collection.
Please keep bags within the boundary of your property until collection day.
