Hi Phillipa,
We would be interested in any learnings as our metal recycling of single use instruments has just fallen over with our current waste provider.

Tanks in advance, Jen

Hello All

We have had a process in place for the recycling of single use metal items / instruments for two years now. We are in the process of reviewing our procedure and we need to clarify some things.
Do you do this as part of their recycling programs, and
If there is any treatment required prior to being moved off site?
How are facilities making this happen and safely?
Happy to be contacted directly if anyone is willing to share.

Kind regards
