1. Separate waste where it is generated

Don't wait until everything ends up in one bin — because once it does, the value is lost. In treatment and operating rooms, place labelled bins side by side: clinical waste, uncontaminated PPE, recycling, and landfill. Separating at source means more material reaches the right processing facility, less goes needlessly to landfill, and your practice pays only to dispose of what truly cannot be recovered.
