To think rubbish from the nearby hospital should not end up on my conservatory roof?

[PeaGreene]

OK, so it's not really a conservatory, it's more of a lean-too, but how does an empty packet of something called Niopam 300 end up on the roof? According to the box, it's something to do with fluid for intravenous injections.

It's not been that windy.

I can't think how someone could have thrown it right over the house.

I don't know any neighbour who would have thrown it into our garden.

I absolutely cannot think how it got there, but if that got there, what else could???

DH thinks it must have been blown up an incinerator chimney, wafted over on the air, and come down to land.

Is that possible?

And as I say, what else could land there?

PeaGreene, have you only just moved into your house?

Last year.

And if a bird dropped it, where did they get it from?

I know it's only a cardboard box but I find it odd.

All hospitals have a strict policy on segrating clinical (potential contact with body fluids) waste from household waste as the former costs £350 per ton to dispose of as opposed to £50 for the stuff you or I might put out in our home bins (except for nappies which would go in clinical waste in hospital).
So, the cardboard waste you found would have been put in household waste as it poses no more threat to you or yours than your neighbours old newspaper that has blown out of their bin.

All bags of waste are tagged to identify origin in case the contractor disposing of them doesn't do their job properly, but it is worth mentioning it to the head of hospital estates to ensure that they are aware that things can get blown of site during disposal.

If it came from an incinerator think yourself lucky thats all it was. I used to live opposite chelmsford crem and had to have my windows cleaned ever weeks because of the ash. lovely.

Vole that's good to know, thank you.

Worzsel, that's awful!
