If new health-care waste-management systems are developed and if new infrastructure is planned, a “waste yard”
should be built. A waste yard is where all the relevant waste-management activities are brought together. To
concentrate certain tasks, it is best to set up multifunctional buildings (waste-storage area), including a fenced
storage area for general waste (A), a room for infectious waste (B), a treatment room (C), a fenced area with an ash
or sharps pit (D), a container cleaning room (E) and a clean offi with lockers and toilets (F).
