Clinical pedal bins in Ireland are used for the hygienic disposal of soft clinical waste in healthcare settings.
They are typically lined with colour-coded waste bags, such as yellow for infectious waste or orange for offensive waste.

Pedal operation allows hands-free use, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and maintaining infection control.
These bins are ideal for disposing of items like gloves, dressings, masks, and disposable gowns.

They should be regularly cleaned, clearly labelled, and used only for their designated waste type.
Proper use of clinical pedal bins supports safe waste segregation and helps meet HSE infection prevention standards.
