NHS England (Leicestershire & Lincolnshire Area team) contract with PHS Waste Management.

The service includes:

• regular monthly/bi-monthly/quarterly collections for normal clinical waste
• twice yearly collection of Cytotoxic waste
• collection takes place in February and August

Electronic signature of Consignment notes

This has been introduced by PHS to reduce paper trails. Pharmacies will be sent electronic copies if PHS has the email address of the pharmacy. Otherwise,  the PHS driver will ask the pharmacy to supply an email address. PHS have checked the use of electronic consignment notes with the environment agency who have approved the approach being undertaken by PHS.
