We offer comprehensive solutions designed to meet the specific needs of healthcare facilities, ensuring compliance with Australian health and environmental regulations.

Wastes we manage for Hospitals, Medical Facilities, and Aged Care Businesses Includes:

Wastes we manage
01. Anatomical & Pathological Waste
We specialise in the secure collection and disposal of anatomical and pathological waste, including human tissues, organs, and body parts. This waste is typically classified as biohazardous and requires specific handling protocols, including incineration, to ensure it is fully destroyed. Our services ensure that anatomical waste is disposed of in line with local regulations, providing peace of mind to facilities that generate this waste type.
02. Clinical Waste Disposal
Nationwide provides tailored clinical waste disposal services to healthcare facilities that generate non-anatomical waste, such as contaminated dressings, swabs, and personal protective equipment (PPE). We ensure that this waste is segregated, collected, and treated properly, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and infection. Our services are designed to handle the large volumes of clinical waste generated by hospitals and aged care facilities.
03. Cytotoxic Waste & Chemotherapy Waste
Cytotoxic waste, including chemotherapy waste, is particularly hazardous due to the strong chemicals used in cancer treatments. These materials can pose risks to both the environment and public health if not disposed of correctly. Nationwide offers secure collection and disposal of these wastes, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and protecting staff, patients, and the community.
04. Infectious Waste Management
Infectious waste includes any materials contaminated with blood, bodily fluids, or pathogens that could spread diseases. Infectious waste management is vital for hospitals and aged care facilities where infection control is a priority. Nationwide's services include the collection, treatment, and safe disposal of infectious materials, using methods such as autoclaving or incineration to neutralise any harmful pathogens.
05. Biohazardous Waste Disposal
Biohazardous waste refers to any waste containing biological agents that pose a risk to human health or the environment. We provide specialised biohazardous waste disposal services to ensure that materials like sharps, contaminated equipment, and laboratory waste are handled and disposed of in a safe and compliant manner.
06. Medical Waste Disposal
At Nationwide, we offer comprehensive medical waste disposal services for all types of medical facilities. From contaminated linens to used syringes and diagnostic waste, our team ensures that your medical waste is collected, treated, and disposed of responsibly, reducing your facility's environmental footprint and ensuring regulatory compliance.
07. Pharmaceutical Waste Disposal
Healthcare facilities often generate expired, unused, or contaminated medications that need safe disposal. Our pharmaceutical waste disposal services ensure that drugs are handled carefully, preventing them from entering the environment or being misused. We adhere to all relevant Australian regulations to ensure safe collection and destruction of pharmaceutical waste.
08. Sharps Disposal & Sharps Containers
Sharps disposal is a critical service for hospitals, clinics, and aged care facilities. Nationwide provides secure sharps containers for the safe collection of needles, syringes, scalpels, and other sharp objects. Our service includes regular collection and disposal to prevent injuries and infections among healthcare staff and patients.
09. Surgical Instrument Disposal
Hospitals and surgical centres rely on our surgical instrument disposal services to safely dispose of instruments that are no longer usable. These instruments, often contaminated with biological material, are collected in secure containers and treated to ensure complete sterilisation or destruction before disposal.
