Re: recycling disposable instruments

[Anonymous]

Hi Heather,
I did a ring around and found a local steel recycling company who would take our instruments. I don’t think any of the big recycling and waste firms take them because the grade of steel is rather poor.

Cheers,
Kelly
I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we work and live, and respect their ongoing custodianship of the land. I pay respect to Aboriginal people, and Elders past and present.

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
