The disposal of hospital waste takes place through a series of specific procedures to ensure maximum safety and protection of public health and the environment.
First of all, hospital waste is collected and separated according to its hazardousness and current regulations. Hazardous waste, such as used needles, infected tissues and expired medicines, is collected in special containers, such as yellow bags, to be subsequently incinerated or sterilized by autoclave.
Non-hazardous waste, such as discarded hospital equipment, is instead disposed of through recycling or disposal in authorized landfills.
It is important to emphasize that the management of hospital waste is regulated by specific laws and regulations at national and international level to ensure maximum safety and protection of public health and the environment. For this reason, it is essential to contact professionals specialized in the field to ensure a safe, efficient and environmentally friendly disposal operation.
