NHS Approved Waste Stations

This range has been developed to meet the needs of NHS trusts that are keen to implement the requirements of HTM 07-01, the Dept. of Health’s guide to the safe management of healthcare waste. The HTM brought in more colours to the now widely adopted colour coding scheme meaning a need for more bins

Ward Waste Station

To assist with this we have developed two Ward Waste Station products, an all-new Mobile Waste Station and to help with carbon foot printing issues, the EHP Recycling Waste Station. The Ward Waste Station is available in two different configurations – one that will fit snugly along a wall, the other for the middle of the floor. The ‘along the wall’ configuration has been design so that as many or few receptacles for each stream can be added. This spaced saving design helps meet the needs of HTM 07-01 without taking up precious floor area in healthcare establishments
The ‘along the wall’ Ward Waste Station is made up of individual bag holders for each waste stream. These can be made to accept the NHS standard 20, 50 and 70 Litre bags and can include space for up to six different waste streams. The central Ward Waste Station is a ‘four in a block design’ allowing easy access to each of the bad holders from any angle. It is expected that this will be seen primarily as a central waste collection point for a ward or clinic.
To further meet the requirements of the HTM, the bags are not allowed to touch each other so unlike some other products on the market, each of our bag holders is a fully enclosed receptacle in its own right and doesn’t share one base or one lid with the others.

Mobile Waste Station

In many healthcare premises, some rooms can have different uses, depending on the clinic taking place or the time of day. EHP has developed a mobile waste unit that can be moved from room to room and then if necessary, taken to the sluice for emptying doing away with the need to carry bags through patient areas. This unit comes mounted on lockable castors meaning that when in situ, the station cannot be accidentally moved.

Recycling Waste Station

The company is also introducing its commercial recycling waste stations to a wider customer base. These can assist the NHS meet its recycling obligations which of course helps with reducing a Trust’s carbon footprint. The recycling stations are designed to take clear bags that show the user what rubbish goes in what bag but at the same time keeping the bags apart.
As part of the reinforcement of HTM 07-01, EHP also provides a full labelling service for both its waste stations and single bins. The company can provide labels for each waste stream for fitting to the bins or stations and can also supply ‘picture only’ labels when needed
