Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as clinical waste in Australia?

Clinical waste (also called medical or healthcare waste) includes materials contaminated with blood or body fluids, sharps (needles, scalpels, broken glass), contaminated PPE (gloves, masks, gowns), pathological waste (tissues, cultures), pharmaceutical waste, and items from patient care that pose infection risk. Under Australian EPA regulations, this waste must be segregated, tracked, and treated by licensed carriers.

Do I need a license to dispose of medical waste?

Healthcare facilities don't need a license to generate medical waste, but you MUST use a licensed waste carrier for disposal. Bin Hire Australia holds all required state EPA licenses for clinical waste transport and tracking. It's illegal to dispose of medical waste through general waste collection or to use unlicensed carriers. Penalties for non-compliance can reach $50,000+ for businesses.

How is medical waste tracked and documented?

We provide complete chain of custody documentation for every collection. Each bin is tracked with unique identifiers from your facility through transport to treatment facility. You'll receive: (1) Collection manifests with date, time, weight and bin ID, (2) Transport tracking documentation, (3) Treatment facility receipt, and (4) Certificate of Destruction. All records are retained for 7 years as required by EPA regulations.

What happens to medical waste after collection?

Medical waste is transported to EPA-licensed treatment facilities where it undergoes one of two approved methods: (1) Autoclaving - high-pressure steam sterilization at 134°C that destroys all pathogens, rendering waste safe for landfill, or (2) Incineration - high-temperature burning (850°C+) that completely destroys waste and pathogens. The treatment method depends on waste type and facility capabilities. You receive certification of the treatment process used.

Can sharps containers go in this bin?

Yes, filled and sealed sharps containers can be placed inside this 60L medical waste bin for disposal. The sharps must be in approved, puncture-proof sharps containers - never dispose of loose sharps. The bin's puncture-resistant construction provides an additional safety layer during transport. We also offer dedicated sharps disposal services for high-volume generators.

How often should medical waste be collected?

Collection frequency depends on generation volume and storage regulations. Most small clinics with a 60L bin require weekly or fortnightly collection. EPA regulations prohibit storing clinical waste for more than 30 days, and it must be stored in secure, temperature-controlled areas away from public access. We'll work with you to determine the optimal collection schedule for your practice's needs.
