About our Edinburgh service

Edinburgh is Scotland's capital, with a medieval Old Town and Georgian New Town, a large finance, tourism, government and university economy, and the world's biggest arts festival each August. We provide dental waste disposal throughout Edinburgh, including Corstorphine and Newington through to Gorgie.

We offer dental waste disposal all over Edinburgh and the surrounding Lothian area. Whether it is a small one-off job or a larger project, we give you one clear price before any work is booked.

In Edinburgh we work with single-surgery practices, larger mixed NHS and private practices and specialist clinics, setting collection frequencies around how busy each one is.

Practices in Edinburgh switching from wet film to digital X-ray often need a one-off collection of leftover fixer, developer and old processing equipment.

What does dental waste disposal cost in Edinburgh?

It depends on the job. Your price come down to the size of the job and access and timing, so the quickest way to an exact figure is to send your details. Typical prices are in the facts box at the top of this page and in our cost guide.

How soon can you book a job in Edinburgh?

We aim to reply to Edinburgh enquiries the same day, and the majority of bookings can be booked in within one to two weeks. If it is urgent, say so and we will try to fit you in sooner.

Where do part-used local anaesthetic cartridges go?

Cartridges with any medicine left in them are medicinally contaminated sharps, so they go in a yellow-lidded sharps container for incineration. Empty sharps with no medicinal contamination, such as needles used without medicines, can go in an orange-lidded container. Most practices simply use yellow-lidded containers at the chair to avoid mistakes.
