The best way to handle waste at your facility depends in large part on the type and size of the facility (for example, whether it is a hospital, a doctor's office, or a health post), on the amount of waste your facility generates, and on the location of the facility (whether it is urban or rural). This section is designed to help you find ways to apply what you have learned in this module to improve practices at your facility.
