Hygiene waste disposal service
phs offer a comprehensive hygiene waste collection and disposal service across all sectors including healthcare, commercial, hospitality and retail. We can deal with any type of hygiene waste collection from public toilets and office restrooms, to care homes and hospitals.
Our service is fully compliant and follows all waste disposal guidelines and regulators, to offer a hassle free safe and hygienic disposal.
What is hygiene waste?
Hygiene waste is non-infectious, absorbent hygiene products (AHP) like nappies, adult incontinence pads, and stoma bags, often requiring specialised collection.
Hygiene waste covers a range of washroom and workplace waste streams that require specialist handling. Unlike general office waste, these materials can't simply go in a standard bin. They need appropriate containment, collection on a regular schedule, and disposal through approved routes.

Award winning sustainable waste disposal
Our sustainability credentials are independently recognised by the highest awarding bodies. phs has again received the bronze EcoVadis award, one of the most respected ESG rating frameworks for supply chain sustainability. This reflects the standards we hold ourselves to across environmental performance, labour practices, ethics and procurement.
The bronze award means we’re in the top 35% of companies in the world, for sustainability and eco-friendly practices regarding waste disposal and how we operate.
Our commitment to zero waste to landfill
Our waste disposal practices are built around the phs Life Cycle Strategy which aims to divert all waste collected away from landfill. We do this by ensuring all waste we collect from our customers is redirected to state-of-the-art energy-from-waste (EfW) facilities across the country. These then convert waste into energy which powers schools, homes, and industries via the National Grid.
This process not only minimises our own carbon footprint, but it also minimises our customers’, making phs a partner of choice to make a real difference to ESG targets and environmental responsibility.
