42 Litre Duo Clinical Waste Bin

This 42 litre metal clinical waste bin is manufactured from premium quality, corrosion resistant galvanised steel and all metal fixings. The body of this sackholder is manufactured from Plastisol (plastic coated steel), or alternatively can be fitted with a transparent body for recycling.

This unit is foot pedal operated. The user simply presses the foot pedal to lift the lid so that they can deposit their waste without any skin contact.

Each lid has it’s own corresponding pedal, so that the only section that opens is the one being used

The overall capacity of this clinical waste bin is 42 litres, with each compartment being approximately 21 litres each.

This Metal clinical waste bin is manufactured to strict standards and conforms to HTM 05-03 Managing Healthcare Fire Safety regulations as set out by the Department of Health. Our closed body sackholders have been independently tested by Exova Warrington Fire Research and we also use Class ‘O’ fire rated Plastisol bodies which meet the strict regulations as set out by the British Board of Agrement.

This clinical waste bin stand comes in white, with a choice of lid options available to support the safe management of healthcare waste segregation, the colour choices will apply to the lid & pedal of that section.

• Choose white to keep your bin all the same colour and define your waste stream with the bag or vinyl stickers.
• Choose yellow for Category A Hazardous Waste which is sent for incineration, such as sharps that are contaminated with drugs.
• Choose orange for Infectious Waste, which is also sent for incineration but includes items such as dressings from infected wounds or items that have been in contact with infectious bodily fluids.
• Choose green for food waste or mixed recycling.
• Choose black for domestic waste.
• Choose yellow with tiger stripe for offensive waste which is sent to deep landfill. This includes items such as colostomy bags, urine bags and incontinence pads.
• Choose violet for Cytotoxic / Static Waste that is sent for incineration such as hormones and specific drugs.

To empty the bin, use the foot pedal to lift the lid of the unit and pull the frame of the lid upwards to release the bag. Simply lift the bag from the top of the unit to empty and replace with a new bag. Fold the sides of the bag over the edges of the bin and pull the frame down to hold it in place again. Release the pedal to put the lid back down. The Removable body aids emptying and allows the body of the unit to be completely removed to take out the waste bag.

Choose your lid and pedal colour

Choose from a range of clinical and domestic colour choices to show your chosen waste stream on the lid and pedal of the bin.

Choose your body colour

Once you have chosen your lid and base colour, choose which colour body you require. The plastisol body is available in white or mushroom, or you can opt for our transparent body for use with collecting recyclables.

Choose optional vinyl lettering

You can also choose to have optional vinyl artwork to the top of lid to specify ‘CLINICAL WASTE ONLY’ or ‘DOMESTIC WASTE ONLY’. Alternatively, add our magnetic waste labels to the top of your bin to interchange the waste stream.

Choose a soft closing lid

To ensure a soft and quiet close, add our soft closing lid option to this bin. The mechanism to enable this feature is a gas strut added to the back of the bin which stops the lid from slamming down. Please note that this feature cannot be retrofitted to the fixed body sackholder once it has been manufactured; this needs to be included at the point of purchase.

This unit has been specifically developed for use with clinical and domestic waste. We have been manufacturing clinical waste bins since 1973 and we’ve held the contract for the NHS framework since 1998, so you can be assured that these bins are fit for purpose!

As with all Wybone clinical waste bins, this clinical waste bin is coated with anti-microbial paint to reduce any risk of harmful bacteria spreading on the surface of the bin. This anti-bacterial feature comes as standard with our clinical waste bins and uses silver-ion antibacterial coating to absorb and destroy harmful bacterium.

This sackholder features easy, wipe-clean surfaces in order to adhere to infection control guidelines.  To effectively clean this sackholder, we recommend hot soapy water is used – no need for harsh chemicals!

This Metal Duo Sackholder is available in two sizes. This 42 Litre Sackholder or our 80 Litre Metal Duo Sackholder depending on the volume of waste you are collecting and the frequency that the bins will be emptied. We also offer this bin in a large capacity ‘mobile’ version, which allows you to take the bin wherever it is needed, take a look at our 100 Litre Metal Mobile Sackholder & our 160 Litre Duo Metal Mobile Sackholder
