Types of Waste in Care Homes

Due to the nature of this industry and the many functions a care home must serve – home, hospital, canteen, place of leisure – the waste produced is highly varied. The exact composition of a care business’ waste will depend upon a variety of factors, but it will generally include clinical waste, food waste, washroom and sanitary waste and general.
