Yellow clinical waste bags are used in Ireland for disposing of soft infectious waste from medical settings.
They are designed for items contaminated with bodily fluids, such as used dressings, swabs, gloves, and aprons.


These bags help prevent cross-contamination and are essential for infection control in clinical environments.
They must not be used for sharps, medicines, or chemical waste, which require separate containers.
Proper segregation ensures compliance with HSE and EPA guidelines for safe healthcare waste disposal.
