4.4. Waste transport
The study showed that 63% of the surveyed healthcare facilities
use one dedicated company for transporting their hazardous
wastes, on a regular or as need basis to the treatment facility. This
company has been authorized by the national authority to transport
hazardous wastes using approved vehicles. As for the remaining
facilities (37%), they utilize their own vehicles or use thirdparty
transporters. The study also revealed that 74% of the latter
used unequipped vehicles for transporting hazardous waste.
