Clinical Waste Collection

The LOC has decided that it will be funding Clinical waste disposal bin at all practices in the area who want them, provided by Greener Options. This service is required under current legislation to dispose of optic waste.

Practices who are already signed up should have received their clinical waste bin already.

However if you need to sign up, please contact the LOC, and we can forward your practice details onto Greener Options.

In the yellow lidded bin you can put minims of Tropicamide, Proxymetcaine, Oxybuprocaine, Benoxinate, Cyclopentolate, Fluorets, I-care probes, Tonometer heads and Tonopen sheaths. This is not an exhaustive list but will cover most items.

If you would like extra units these are charged at the discounted rate negotiated by the LOC, invoices for extras will be sent direct to the member requesting it. The price includes supply and disposal; just ask the driver upon delivery, we can post out extras after the delivery day however we charge postage at cost.

Greener Options will complete the compliance paperwork so please provide your registered company details and address if different from the practice name and address. For contractors that carry out domiciliary visits some additional paperwork is required so please can you contact Greener Options as soon as possible.
