Special waste may need to be refrigerated prior to collect ion. 2.General waste (non-infect ious wa ste, pa ckaging materia ls, non-infect ious animal bedding, etc) can be disposed of by Loca l Author ity thr ough la ndfill, recycling or incineration. 3.Special wastes include ana tomical waste, blood-soaked swabs and dressings, infected animal carcasses, soiled dressings, contamina ted or infectious waste from examination, treatment, and kennel rooms, pharmaceutical waste, cytotoxic waste, shar ps, and syringes. Special wastes (other than sharps) must be bagged in Polythene bags (with a minimum thickness of 50 microns, if of low density and 25 microns, if of high density). Cytotoxic wastes are to be placed into coloured cytotoxic waste containers with Eye-catching colours used for the label.

They must be placed directly into approved containers. They must be stored in non -reusable, leak-proof, and puncture- proof containers with an aperture that must inhibit removal of t he contents. 5.The practice must have fa cilities for the hygienic storage of cadavers. The disposal of dead animals must give the client no cause for complaint a nd cause no public offence or nuisa nce.
