Management of medical and hazardous wastes is a serious problem especially for developing countries. People are not aware of possible threats and/or they are afraid of the cost of application. Rapid population growth leads municipalities towards proper solid waste management applications. In this study, data were collected from the Turkish Statistical Institute and a general framework was drawn for medical and hazardous waste amounts and disposal methods. Starting from this point of view, the authors analyzed both the Regulation on Control of Hazardous Waste and the Regulation on Control of Medical Waste applied in Turkey. Taking into account all of these factors, this chapter is intended to develop the medical and hazardous waste management system economically and environmentally including waste generation, collection, transportation, disposal and treatment activities. Additionally, it investigates the reasons for lack of proper application of the regulations in light of the statistical data.

Solid Waste Management System

Health service activities by the hospital produce a waste of any activity in the form of medical activities and non-medical activities. The purpose of this research is to analyze the solid waste management system in  'X' Hospital, Cilegon City, Banten. The result showed that the source of solid waste generated were classified into 2 types, namely 2% of medical waste and 98% non medical, where the waste treatment process included sorting, characteristic wastage, transporting garbage to TPS, weighing, temporary storage and transportation. The method of handling solid, B3 and domestic solid waste in 'X' Hospital is done in each unit which is sorting according to its characteristic, but still finding the placement of waste which is not in accordance with its characteristic and solid waste processing process is not done by the hospital but given to a third party. Therefore, it can be concluded that the effort to evaluate the solid waste management of 'X' Hospital must refer to the Decree of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1204 / Menkes/ SK / X / 2004 on Hospital Health Requirements and need to improve supervision and good cooperation with nurses and janitors in the separation of medical and non-medical waste.
