What do I do with stoma bags, catheters, colostomy?

A dedicated collection service will be available from June 2024.

NHS advises that to safely and hygienically dispose of colostomy or stoma bags, you empty the bag of its contents down the toilet.

Then wrap, and place in the appropriate container for your recycling and waste collections service or at a Recycling and Waste Park:

Trolibocs service

Bag service

Communal bin service
