Vena Cava arranges licensed clinical waste and sharps collection for aesthetic clinics and independent injectors. We cover toxin and filler sharps, leftover medicines and contaminated consumables, supply the right bins, and keep your paperwork ready for your licensing officer, insurer or inspector. Low volumes and one-off collections welcome.
Most aesthetic clinics produce small amounts of five waste streams. Each one needs its own container so it can be treated correctly.
| Waste | Typical examples | Container |
|---|---|---|
| Botulinum toxin waste | Needles and syringes used to inject toxin, plus part-used or expired toxin vials | Purple-lid cytotoxic container |
| Other medicine-contaminated sharps | Needles, cannulas and syringes used for dermal fillers, skin boosters and local anaesthetic | Yellow-lid sharps bin |
| Unused or expired medicines | Out-of-date hyaluronidase, local anaesthetic and other non-cytotoxic medicines | Blue-lid medicines container |
| Offensive waste | Used gloves, gauze, wipes and couch roll with no known infection risk | Tiger bag |
| Infectious waste | Items contaminated from a client with a known or suspected infection | Orange bag |
Microneedling cartridges, blades and lancets also go in a sharps bin. Tell us your treatments and we will confirm the right containers. Read more about sharps bins by lid colour.
Most UK waste carriers classify botulinum toxin as cytotoxic. Toxin needles and part-used vials go in a purple-lid container for high-temperature incineration, never in a yellow-lid bin, down the sink or in general waste.
Never fill past the fill line, and lock the final closure before collection. Overfilled bins are a needlestick risk and can be refused by the carrier.
Most clinic consumables are offensive waste, not infectious. Using tiger bags where appropriate is compliant and usually cheaper.
Hazardous waste needs a consignment note for every collection, kept for at least three years. See our guide to waste transfer and consignment notes.
Clinic waste is business waste, even for mobile practitioners. It cannot go in household bins or council clinical waste collections.
Send us a photo of your bins and a list of your treatments. We will tell you what you need, free of charge.
One sharps bin a month? No problem. Choose a schedule, call when you are full, or book a one-off collection.
Order your bins, bags and aesthetic supplies alongside your collections, on one invoice.
We send your consignment notes after every collection, so your records are ready when anyone asks.
We are a new service and are offering our first 10 practices a free starter pack of bins and bags, a 12-month collection price lock and 10% off supplies. See the full clinical waste collection service for terms.
It depends on how many bins you fill, which waste streams you produce and how often you need collections. Small clinics usually pay per collection or a small monthly fee. Send us your details and we will reply with a clear written price.
Most UK waste carriers classify botulinum toxin as cytotoxic waste. Part-used or expired vials, and the needles and syringes used to inject toxin, go in a purple-lid cytotoxic container for high-temperature incineration. Never pour leftover toxin down the sink.
Used filler syringes, needles and cannulas go in a yellow-lid sharps bin. Hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite fillers are non-cytotoxic, so they do not need a purple-lid bin.
