Red - Infected Waste (to be disposed of in a safe manner)

- Low Volume Sorting -
For sorting bins, try these handy IKEA storage boxes:
Great for paper products, UHT, hazardous waste, bottle caps and more!
Orange: Hazardous Waste
Red: Contaminated waste
(mainly seen at Hospitals)
Blue: Trash for landfill
- We want this to be as little as possible! -
Since Covid-19 there is a huge number of contaminated masks which need to be disposed of properly.
Please put in clear plastic bags before dropping into the blue bin.
