A. Not if the waste is generated at premises at which clinical or related waste is generated. s50 of the Environmental Protection (Waste Management) Regulation 2000 requires operators of such premises to set aside an area for storing clinical or related waste that is not accessible to animals or unauthorised people, and not store the waste anywhere else. This means storing the waste in a public area would not be sufficient.
