Shop clinical waste bins for the safe disposal of infectious and hazardous waste in healthcare settings. Our range includes hands-free pedal bins and hybrid clinical waste bins from 20 to 80 litres, designed for GP surgeries, dental practices, hospitals, care homes and veterinary clinics across the UK.
Yellow Lid vs Orange Lid Clinical Waste Bins
Clinical waste bins follow the NHS colour coding system set out in HTM 07-01. Yellow lid bins are for infectious waste that must be incinerated, including waste contaminated with medicines or chemicals, such as medicated dressings. Orange lid bins are for infectious waste with no medicinal or chemical contamination, such as dressings, swabs and gloves soiled with blood or body fluids, which can be made safe by alternative treatment. Read our clinical waste colour code guide for the full set of streams.
Hands-Free and Hybrid Designs
All our clinical waste bins feature hands-free foot pedal operation, reducing the risk of cross-contamination during disposal. The Sunflower range offers lightweight, easy-clean polypropylene construction with colour-coded lids for instant waste stream identification. Hybrid bins from our range combine a rigid outer shell with a removable inner liner holder for quick bag changes.
Choosing the Right Size
Small 20L bins suit individual treatment rooms and consulting rooms. Medium 28-50L bins work well in busy multi-use clinical areas. Large 70-80L bins are ideal for high-volume settings like hospital wards, A&E departments and operating theatres. Pair your clinical waste bin with the correct clinical waste bags and sharps bins for a complete compliant waste management system. When they're full, we can arrange licensed clinical waste collection. Free UK delivery on orders over £35.
