Abstract

The aim of this paper is to provide a few practical notions concerning the management, treatment, storage and disposal of the various kinds of waste generated by hospitals. Above all, we wish to look into the procedures that should be adopted to ensure that health-care workers, general public health and the environment are safely protected. If the waste is thoroughly segregated and sorted and the following indications carried out, then these recommendations can help to minimize disposal costs while keeping in line with most current legislation.
