About our Derry service

Derry is northern Ireland's second city on the River Foyle near the Donegal border, known for its complete 17th-century walls, shirt-making heritage and a young population. Our team handles dental waste disposal throughout Derry, from Waterside and Creggan out to Shantallow.

We handle dental waste disposal for dental practices, orthodontists, dental hygienists, dental laboratories and NHS and private clinics in Derry regularly. The work is done to a high standard, at a clear price and completed when agreed.

Many Derry practices find that moving gloves, bibs and masks into tiger bags lowers their clinical waste costs without any loss of compliance.

Collection days in Derry are planned around clinic hours and storage space, so bins are changed before they fill up.

How should extracted teeth be disposed of?

Extracted teeth without amalgam are infectious waste and go in the infectious waste stream for incineration or approved treatment. Teeth containing amalgam fillings must not be incinerated because of the mercury, so they go in the amalgam container instead. Teeth can be returned to the patient on request.
