Hi Teresa and Heather
I am also interested in the recycling of disposable instruments. Teresa what type of cleaning/disinfection of the instruments do you perform prior to sending them to the scrap dealer? Currently our disposable instruments are being discarded as clinical waste (sharps).

Hi Heather,
I work at a small rural hospital in Central West NSW and we are currently trialling recycling our disposable instruments. We have an arrangement with the local scrap dealer which so far is working well.

Hi all
I am just wondering how many of your facilities recycle the disposable instruments.
We are a small rural hospital which h tries to minimise our environmental footprint and I would prefer to be recycling rather than adding to any other waste stream.
If anyone has any information regarding this please inbox me the details.
Many thanks
Heather
