Dispose of plasters and gauze at home: do you know how to do it correctly?

Going into specifics, the plasters and gauzes used must be disposed of in the undifferentiated dry residue , to be adequately protected, so as to prevent them from coming into contact with other people or surfaces.

Please wrap them securely before placing them in the bin. On the other hand, for clean packaging, such as paper wrappers or “leaflets” containing instructions, recycling is permitted. In this regard, it is good to first make sure that they are in good condition.

However, in certain municipalities there are different provisions regarding plasters, gauze and medical waste. If this is the case, the invitation is to scrupulously follow the instructions of the local authority, which has the final say in the matter. It happens, in fact, that institutions prefer to place them in special containers, sanctioning everything through tailor-made guidelines to be observed in the disposal and collection.

So, is the discipline clear now? Follow the rules established by the relevant authorities to avoid unpleasant surprises.
