A clinical waste bag is usually used to collect clinical waste that can have hazardous as well as non-hazardous properties. If the bags don’t comply with the regulations, then they can pose a major threat to society and the environment.
Here is where the experts at TCW come in. Based on how much waste is produced, we can advise and help you with the clinical waste bags or clinical waste pedal bins on a case-by-case basis.
A clinical waste bag is something where medical waste is stored so that it can be picked up by the local council or partnered waste management companies for further treatment. There are four types of waste bags, namely, yellow, orange, purple, red, and black-coloured bags. The plastic used for clinical bags is strong and leakproof. TCW provides these bags with quality in line with prescribed UK standards.
As soon as any clinical bag is filled, it needs to be placed at a location mutually agreed upon with the local council or waste management contractor. The location should be is aloof from the society yet safe enough to be picked up. Alternatively, a time or a frequency can be decided at which point the bag is placed so that it can be picked up and the necessary work can be done following the regulations.
A clinical waste bag can be tied by strongly twisting the upper section of the bag and then turning it over the bag’s twisted neck. Once that is done, a plastic seal needs to be turned over the twisted part, thereby firmly sealing the upper portion of the bag. In the event that a plastic seal isn’t available, a knot would be fine. Tying this bag is important as spilling the waste can prove to be hazardous.
Since clinical waste includes hazardous, infectious, and cytotoxic waste, it is usually disposed of using the incineration method. The non-hazardous wastes are disposed of using autoclaving, landfill methods, or sea dumping,
The yellow clinical waste bag is for any infectious solid waste. The orange bag is for soft, semi-solid, or liquid infectious waste. Tiger striped bags are for non-infectious waste. There are also purple waste bags for cytotoxic waste and red waste bags for anatomic waste.
The clinical waste pedal bin is bright yellow for visibility and has a plastic liner internally that allows it to be opened without placing hands close to potential hazards or the risk of injuries from needles and syringes.

I have recently started using their service for Imaan Ltd. I found them professional, efficient and very promptly the accounts were set up. We have taken their service for sanitary waste and sharps waste for our 12 sites across the UK. So far we are very pleased with their service provided.
I've heard a lot about Trikon, and I'd like to say that I've had a great experience with them. The key thing is to communicate and then you will be surprised at how helpful Trikon can be. We had a couple of minor issues with the start of the contract but nothing that Trikon and the team didn't sort out quickly. They have been more than flexible during the last 3 months of C-19 so no complaints there. To be honest their service so far has been excellent and far far better than Biffa ever was. Give them a chance, communicate and you will be very happy. Good value service and very helpful.
Excellent service for all our branches. From our personal experience, Trikon has always delivered in a timely manner and excellent price. Way better than having Veolia, Biffa and Citron Hygiene.
