Sharps and Clinical Waste Management in York

 

York is the quintessential British town that simply leaves tourists in awe, with an approximate 7 million visitors each year coming to experience remnants of the city’s renowned Viking, Medieval and Roman past.

 

Walking through the city centre you’ll find The Shambles, York’s most popular street harbouring a collection of old Victorian-style boutiques, pubs, teahouses and more. Said to be the inspiration behind J.K. Rowling’s Diagon Alley, you can mosey down the hundreds of cobblestone alleys and lanes known to locals as ’snickleways’. Be sure to drop in for a spot of afternoon tea at Betty’s Café Tea Room which has been on the menu since the 1920s - just don’t forget to make a reservation, because seats fill up fast!
 

Named after the Viking word ‘Jórvík’, it would only be fitting to visit York’s Viking Centre or even attend their Viking Festival to gain a taste of what 10th century life was like in the town. Despite all the charm of York’s history however, there lies a darker side to the city. Known as the most haunted city in Europe, make sure you catch one of the nightly ghost walk tours to truly understand the complex history of the area. Some say York is home to the first ever ghost tour - how's that for spooky?!

Between Yorkminster Cathedral and Clifford's Tower, it's clear that the city is home to iconic structures inspiring intrigue and wonder. Yet despite it’s strong grounding in heritage and history, one thing York deeply cares about keeping up-to-date with its healthcare.
