Yes handroll ("white roll" in my neck of the woods) is much cheaper than using cotton wool..!!

I had urine leaking out the bottom of a clinical waste bag this week (euuuuurgh) and I wish it would be disposed of as per OSCE guidelines by our vets!!

but even better than paper roll or cotton wool - some of the absorbant woodbased cat litter - you dont need a lot and then there is no risk of any dripping/leakage or nastiness. This is what I use on any liquid spill and is an approved method of disposal (don't know if it complies with OSCE though - that is something you will need to check)

must admit any pee in a container gets flushed down the loo - unless chemo involved

I know for the task it is clinical waste but can urine go in offensive waste bags rather than clinical?

I think you may need to soak it into something (such as cotton wool) and then put it into clinical waste.
