Medical Waste Collection & Disposal in Dubai
Globalex collects, transports and disposes of medical waste for hospitals, clinics, laboratories and veterinary practices across Dubai, fully compliant with Dubai Municipality and Dubai Health Authority requirements.
What counts as medical waste in Dubai
Medical waste, also called biomedical, clinical or healthcare risk waste, covers anything generated during diagnosis, treatment or research that could carry infection, injury or contamination risk.
Hospitals, clinics, dental practices, laboratories, pharmacies and veterinary centres in Dubai all generate this kind of waste in different volumes. It cannot be placed in general waste bins, stored alongside food or non-medical items, or handled by an unlicensed contractor. Dubai Municipality treats the facility that generates the waste as responsible for correct segregation and storage right up until it is collected by an approved provider.
Globalex works with hospitals, clinics, laboratories, dental practices and veterinary facilities across Dubai to take that responsibility off your team’s plate, from supplying the right containers through to final disposal and documentation.
What Do Our Medical Waste Services Include?
We provide hygienic and professional medical waste collection services in Dubai, UAE, strictly following all laws, regulations, and safety standards related to hazardous and biomedical waste disposal.
During the medical waste collection process, we carefully segregate and classify all medical waste, including infectious waste, sharps, pharmaceutical waste, and laboratory waste. This ensures hazardous waste collection is never mixed with non-hazardous waste, reducing the risk of contamination and disease spread.
Every category of medical waste, handled correctly
Medical waste must be segregated at source into Dubai Municipality specified categories before collection, so infectious material is never mixed with general or non-hazardous waste. We collect and dispose of all of the following:
Infectious & Clinical Waste
Bandages, dressings, gloves and materials contaminated with blood or bodily fluids, collected in sealed, leak-proof bags.
Sharps Waste
Needles, syringes, scalpels and blades, collected in puncture-resistant sharps containers as specified by Dubai Municipality.
Pharmaceutical Waste
Expired, unused or contaminated medication, safely removed to prevent misuse or environmental contamination.
Laboratory Waste
Cultures, specimens and other potentially infectious material generated by pathology and diagnostic labs.
Pathological Waste
Human tissue and related biological waste, handled with dedicated protocols and full chain of custody records.
Veterinary Clinical Waste
Clinical and sharps waste from veterinary practices, collected to the same standard as human healthcare facilities.
Built around Dubai’s medical waste regulations
Medical waste management in Dubai sits under Dubai Municipality’s Law No. 18 of 2024 Regulating Waste Management, alongside healthcare-specific requirements from the Dubai Health Authority. Every regulated collection also needs a Waste Transfer Note, filed through Dubai Municipality’s Montaji platform within 24 hours of pickup.
- Waste segregated into Dubai Municipality specified categories at the point of collection
- Waste Transfer Note generated and filed through Montaji for every pickup
- Transport in enclosed, dedicated vehicles, never combined with general waste
- Disposal only at Dubai Municipality authorised treatment facilities
- Collection records kept for DHA and Dubai Municipality inspection readiness

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Under Dubai’s Law No. 18 of 2024 Regulating Waste Management, every facility that generates medical waste, including hospitals, clinics, dental practices, laboratories and veterinary centres, must use a Dubai Municipality approved contractor.
Dubai Municipality sets an official treatment fee per kilogram for private sector generators at its approved facilities. Total cost also depends on collection frequency, container needs and waste volume. Contact us for a quote tailored to your facility.
Most infectious medical waste is treated by incineration at a Dubai Municipality authorised facility. Some waste streams may be steam sterilised before final disposal, depending on classification.
It’s a regulatory violation that carries significant fines and inspection risk, in addition to the infection and contamination hazard it creates for staff and the public.
Hospitals typically need daily collection. Clinics and labs are usually scheduled weekly, with custom frequencies available depending on volume.
Dubai Municipality holds the generator, meaning the clinic or hospital, responsible for correct segregation and storage until collection. The licensed contractor is then responsible for transport, documentation and disposal.
A Waste Transfer Note (WTN) is the digital record generated through Dubai Municipality’s Montaji platform for every regulated collection. It must be filed within 24 hours of pickup, and your contractor should generate this for you.
