- 3Transport and re-weighing on receipt
The waste travels in dedicated vehicles straight to our treatment facility in Buraydah, where it is re-weighed and the manifest is stamped on receipt.
- 4Treatment
Each category gets the right method: autoclave sterilisation for infectious waste, and incineration for pharmaceutical and anatomical waste.
