The following is advice, on disposal of waste, if anyone in the household is in quarantine,
If anyone in the home is in quarantine the waste must be deposited in 3 bags.
1st Bag the patients waste including disposable material used by the patient and his or her caregiver (gloves masks etc) must be deposited in a plastic bag within a waste bin in the patients room if possible with a bin cover and foot opening pedal. No separation of waste should be done.
2nd Bag the first bag must be properly closed and introduced to this second bag in which you must also put the gloves used to bag the waste prior to taking out of the room.
3rd Bag the above 2 bags must be placed into the 3rd bag with the rest of the household waste and securely closed.
Immediately after doing this thoroughly clean your hands for 40 to 60 seconds.
When the 3rd bag is closed it must be deposited in a special container marked Fraccion Resto or any similarly denoted by the local authority. It is absolutely prohibited that this waste is put in any other container eg glass, clothing, plastics etc.
The above will apply once the appropriate bins are provided and we expect to hear when they will be available next week.
If your home does not have a positive case or operating a quarantine regime your waste should be deposited as usual. BUT please bear in mind the strain on the waste collection services and deposit your waste in the correct containers. Also remember any gloves used for shopping are NOT to be placed in the yellow recycling plastic bins but in the normal residual waste,
