Labourers
Clinical waste is an unavoidable by-product of a general hospital. It
is sometimes surprising to see the amount of clinical waste which is accumulated
in just one day.
All of the yellow bins in the picture below will easily be filled in one
working day. The clinical waste is collected by labourers from designated
points outside of each ward within the Hospital and transported to either
these yellow bins or others placed elsewhere.
Clinical waste bin lorry

A driver from the Labour Pool drives a dedicated lorry (in the background
by the chimney) which transports 11 clinical waste bins at a time and
takes them to have their contents incinerated and then returns empty ones
to be filled again.
