L&R Clinical Waste Scheme

For nearly a decade, the Leicestershire & Rutland LOC has run a scheme in which the Committee has taken over responsibility for organising (and paying for) Clinical Waste bin collections for all those practices in the area choosing to take part.

There are at present over 100 practices on the scheme and each practice receives ONE clinical waste bin which is emptied ONCE A YEAR at NO COST to the practice. Once part of the scheme, a practice will receive a new bin each year and the old full bin is taken away.  Any extra bins or collections required during the year need to be organised and paid for by the practice concerned directly to the supplier, Greener Options Ltd.

The scheme runs from May/June each year and practices can only join at this point as the bins are delivered around Leicestershire and Rutland en masse over two or three days.  A practice cannot join part way through the year.

If your practice wishes to sign up for the next May/June deliveries, please email the Secretary.  Please include ALL the following details:

• Contact name, email address and mobile number
• Full name and address of practice
• Opening hours (including any lunchtime closures) for delivery purposes
• Size of bin required (2.5 or 5 litre)
