Veterinary practices must follow veterinary waste disposal legislation and guidelines to ensure safety and compliance. Clinical waste should be treated as potentially infectious and disposed of through high-temperature incineration or autoclaving. Sharps waste must be placed in yellow sharps containers if medicinally contaminated or orange-lidded bins if not, such as those used for taking blood samples.
Pharmaceutical waste, such as expired medications, requires careful handling to prevent environmental contamination and should be disposed of in blue pharmaceutical bins. Anatomical waste requires red anatomical waste bins for safe disposal, while X-ray waste, including films and chemicals, must be separated and managed according to specific disposal protocols.
Offensive waste, which may include items like animal faeces or bedding, should be disposed of in landfills or other approved facilities. Although not hazardous, these materials require appropriate disposal to prevent health risks and environmental impact.
