Hi Helen,
You will need to comply with your local waste guidelines. In Tasmania waste from rooms as mentioned below are segregated into the normal waste streams, thus very little waste from our TBP rooms goes into clinical waste.
Kind regards
Rachel

Subject: [ACIPC_Infexion_Connexion] PPE waste
Good afternoon everyone,
Just enquiring in which waste bin (general or clinical) do staff put their PPE after being in a precautions room (MRSA, VRE, CDiff etc).
Currently, we put all our PPE in to clinical waste.
I cannot see a clear directive in the Guild line for Prevention and control of infection in healthcare.
Do you place it in general waste or clinical waste?
Thanks in advance
Helen
