Medical waste generation is 68.83 kg/day, non-medical waste of TL lamps is 154.8 kg for 6 months, and used lubricant oil is about 20 L for 1 year. The hazardous waste has been sorted by type, namely infectious waste and sharps waste, while the non-medical waste consists of TL lamps and used oil. Transfer points are signposted, away from food storage and preparation areas, and are easily accessible. Transport to the hazardous waste treatment facility is provided by four vans three times a week. The processing of medical waste is carried out by third parties who have manifest documents. With the exception of sharps containerisation and storage duration, all components of the hospital's hazardous waste management are compliant.]]>
