Abstract (en)
As shown in Figure 1, the invention provides a cost-effective system for the transport and disposal of potentially hazardous waste. Waste is loaded into tough, durable re-usable containers (11) at a waste production site such as a hospital ward (10). These are transported locally on wheeled trolleys (14) to a pick-up site where they are loaded on to special purpose vehicles (15) fitted with special purpose hoist devices. The vehicles (15) transport the containers to a waste disposal site where the containers are emptied into an incinerator feed hopper. The containers are then cleaned and sanitized before being returned on the vehicles to the waste production sites for re-use.
