At Waste King, we specialise in the responsible disposal of various hazardous waste types, including cytotoxic and cytostatic materials. These substances can pose significant environmental and health risks if not handled correctly. Our expertise covers two primary categories:

1. Medicinal Products: These include medications that are toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, or harmful to reproduction, often used in treating cancer or similar conditions. The waste encompasses expired, unused, or leftover medications in various forms such as tablets, liquids, and creams. Given their potential to kill or inhibit cell growth, it’s crucial that they are disposed of with care to avoid environmental contamination and health hazards.
2. Contaminated Waste: Items that have come into contact with cytotoxic and cytostatic medications also fall into this category due to the high risks associated with these substances. This includes, but is not limited to, protective gear like gloves or garments used by healthcare professionals during the handling of such medications.

Examples of Cytotoxic and Cytostatic Waste:

• Medications specifically designed for cytotoxic and cytostatic treatment
• Hormonal medications
• Contaminated gloves and wipes
• Disposable garments and personal protective equipment (PPE) that are contaminated
• Contaminated sharps, including needles, syringes, and scalpels
• Blister packs containing medication
• Medicinal vials
• Contaminated bandages and patches
• Immunosuppressive drugs
• Certain antiviral medications and antibiotics
• Waste related to cosmetic procedures involving cytotoxic substances

Waste King is committed to ensuring the safe and compliant disposal of these hazardous materials, protecting both public health and the environment.

Cytotoxic and cytostatic waste is primarily generated by facilities and professionals operating within the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors. This includes hospitals, clinics, veterinary practices, research laboratories, and pharmaceutical manufacturers. The production of this type of waste arises from various activities, such as cancer treatment therapies, immunology services, and the development and testing of medicinal products. Additionally, private practices and smaller medical units that provide specialised treatments also contribute to the generation of cytotoxic and cytostatic waste. It is essential for all entities involved in the creation of this waste to adhere to strict disposal protocols to ensure public safety and environmental protection. Waste King specialises in providing comprehensive waste management solutions tailored to the safe and efficient disposal of cytotoxic and cytostatic waste, ensuring compliance with all regulatory standards.

We specialise in crafting a tailored waste collection strategy that seamlessly aligns with your operations. Our flexible scheduling allows for the collection of cytotoxic and cytostatic waste on a daily, weekly, or fortnightly basis, ensuring a plan that perfectly matches your waste generation volume.

We understand the importance of compliance and safety in hazardous waste management. That’s why we not only facilitate the collection of such waste but also provide comprehensive support with the necessary documentation. For instance, we guide you through the process of completing a waste transfer note, ensuring that every step of the waste disposal process adheres to strict legal and safety standards.

To further ease the burden of waste management, Waste King offers complimentary delivery of bins and bags designed to meet your waste disposal needs. You are only charged for the collection service, and we ensure that the bins and bags are placed in a convenient location for swift and efficient removal. Feel free to order as many bins and bags as required to accommodate your waste output.
