Guidance for households with possible coronavirus (COVID-19) infection
Store personal waste (such as used tissues) and disposable cleaning cloths securely within disposable rubbish bags. Place these bags into another bag, tie it securely and keep it separate from other waste. Wait at least 72 hours before putting it in your usual external household waste bin.
Other household waste can be disposed of as normal.
