Croydon Council has introduced new measures to streamline the disposal of non-hazardous clinical and hygiene waste for residents. Effective April 1, waste such as nappies and sanitary towels can now be placed in regular black bags for collection, eliminating the need for yellow waste sacks. This initiative aims to ease the disposal process; residents needing larger bins due to health conditions will be contacted directly. While non-hazardous waste can be combined with general refuse, hazardous waste must still be managed separately through healthcare providers, emphasizing the council's commitment to safe waste management.
This change means residents will not have to leave yellow waste sacks outside their property for collection, making waste disposal simpler and more efficient.
Under the new waste contract with Veolia, this waste can now be put into regular black bin bags and disposed of in general waste bins.
Executive Mayor of Croydon, Jason Perry, highlighted that this adjustment makes it easier for residents to manage their non-hazardous clinical hygiene waste.
Residents with disabilities or health conditions that generate large amounts of waste will be contacted about eligibility for larger bins.
