At Waste King, we prioritise safe and effective disposal of pharmaceutical waste, utilisings a color-coded system for our waste containers to ensure proper segregation and handling. Each lid color signifies a specific type of clinical waste, facilitating easy identification and compliance with health and safety standards. Here’s a breakdown of our color-coding system:
- Blue Lid: Designated for general pharmaceutical waste, including expired medications, as well as contaminated protective gear such as gloves and masks.
- Black Lid: Used for disposing of specific pharmaceuticals like paracetamol and cough syrup.
- Yellow Lid: Marks containers for infectious clinical waste that may be contaminated with blood or medication residues.
- Orange Lid: Indicates containers for sharps waste, which includes items such as needles, syringes, and lancets.
- Purple Lid: Used for cytotoxic and cytostatic waste, encompassing waste from hormone treatments and chemotherapy medications.
- Red Lid: Signifies anatomical waste containers used for both infectious and non-infectious body parts.
