Collection should be daily for most wastes, with collection timed to match the pattern of waste generation during
the day. For example, in a medical area where the morning routine begins with the changing of dressings, infectious
waste could be collected mid-morning to prevent soiled bandages remaining in the medical area for longer than
necessary. Visitors arriving later in the day will bring with them an increase in general waste, such as newspapers
and food wrappings; therefore, the optimum time for general and recyclable waste collection would be aftr visitors
have departed.
