Home dialysis produces clinical waste, and it must be segregated and collected properly — not put in household rubbish.
What to know
- Sharps go straight into an approved sharps container at the point of use, never re-sheathed.
- Blood-contaminated lines, dialysers and dressings go into clinical waste bags.
- Seal sharps containers at the fill line and never overfill them.
- Trivita arranges scheduled clinical waste collection as part of your service.
