Surely there has to be somewhere for barely used oxygen masks, tubing and all the many disposable items used in units such as this? There is such tremendous need gobally for all this stuff, and watching them being tossed without a thought is awful - why don't hospitals at least have recycling centres for all their waste? Not just sharps disposal but all the other countless items used daily? I have recently started vounteering in the PACU unit of a large hospital and am appalled at the waste.
