Please note: Our clinical waste collections are for Hillingdon residents only. They are not available to businesses and schools.
Bag collection
Residents who need to dispose of items such as stoma bags, colostomy bags, bandages and dressings can use our bag collection service.
This collection is made every Wednesday and bags should be left on your doorstep the night before or by 6am on the day of collection. Our team will leave new bags for you when they collect your disposed bags.

Boxes should be left on your doorstep the night before or by 6am on the day of collection.
If you live in a flat, which has a 'trade' button that our team can use to gain entry, then the box can be left outside your front door. Alternatively, leave the box in a communal bin area that our team can access. When you request a collection, please add a note (providing any access codes, if needed) when asked 'Are there any further details you want to provide us with?'
