Sharps and Clinical Waste Management in Warrington
Nestled midway between Liverpool and Manchester lies Warrington, voted the number 1 best place to live in the UK for 2021 and it’s easy to see why. Rating the highest in job prospects, affordability, and quality of life, Warrington offers a huge range of opportunities to both residents and visitors alike.
Emerging as a medieval market town in the Middle Ages, Warrington expanded into a more urban area during the Industrial Revolution. It is part of a green belt region that aims to encourage recreational activities and so plays host to beautiful landmarks like the River Bollin, St Oswald’s Church and multiple gardens, parks and museums.
Despite its strong industrial roots, today Warrington has cultivated its own unique character as a town with plenty to see and do. For families, Gulliver’s World is an absolute must - this theme park and resort is perfect for family fun bursting with attractions and rides for all.
If you’re looking for something more relaxing, Warrington is home to beautiful scenic spots like the Bridgewater Canal and Walton Hall and Gardens, a beautiful landscape with an Elizabethan-style hall and ornamental park. The gardens have a children’s zoo for a fun afternoon visit! If you’re looking to be completely immersed in flora and fauna, the Moore Nature Reserve is just a quick 10-minute drive away and has a stunning walking trail allowing you to get back in touch with nature.
Beyond sightseeing, Warrington has some incredible healthcare history; in 1992 - Graham Copeland, assistant medical director and general surgeon at Warrington Hospital, devised the possum equation to predict the likely outcome of a surgical procedure. This is now used by medical professionals around the world.
How is Clinical and Infectious waste handled in Warrington?
Clinical and Infectious waste disposal is a specialized waste stream that requires handling by an accredited and experienced waste management company. Sharpsmart has been partnering with NHS Hospitals, Trusts and patient-care facilities for more than 20 years, providing access to safety-designed reusable containers for sharps and pharmaceutical waste, as well as cradle to grave waste collection and treatment services for all waste streams generated out of a healthcare environment.
As a partner, we recognise the critical role we play in being the “expert” – helping our healthcare customers navigate compliance and regulations, providing guidance on best practice waste segregation and environmental benchmarking and being able to deliver expertise in the creation of waste plans, auditing and evaluation of segregation efficacy, and creating facility-based waste education programs that provide clinical understanding of safe waste disposal and multi-stream segregation.

Sharpsmart’s Waste Optimisation Solutions are designed to reduce clinical waste, divert plastic from landfill and significantly reduce costs
It really is simple maths – you take general trash and put it in a regulated waste stream like clinical waste, and you will quickly find that you’re paying a lot more for disposing of a pepsi can than you should be! At Sharpsmart we work from the inside out in understanding what is driving waste disposal behaviour. We audit bins, we map movement flow, and we work with clinical staff to deliver education that is simple to follow, doesn’t detract from patient care and is, quite simply, intuitive! Beyond compliance, here’s what else being savvy with waste segregation will deliver:
-
Massive environmental impact and reduced CO2 emission reductions!
-
Minimise risk of pharmaceutical misuse or unauthorised removal
-
Safety for downstream service staff in handling high risk waste streams
-
Substantial cost reductions in eliminating over-categorised waste
