Agenda 21 also highlights that any waste product producer is liable for the remedies
and complete disposal of its own rubbish; where possible, every neighborhood should
get rid of its waste within its own borders. The European Union has developed a
common European Community Technique on trash Management; other regional
groupings of countries may put together related policies in the outlook.

The foundation for a national program for health-care waste management is the
technical guidelines plus the appropriate platform that assists them. Step 3 thus
consists of the formulation of a national policy document and technical guidelines
based on the results of the national survey; the two may be brought with each other
in one thorough document. Their content, should offer the technical foundation on
which health-care establishments can create their unique management programs.

Research activities
Waste material produced in research areas can extend from small
items such as culture dishes to large animal carcasses, and may also consist of
soiled beddings and sharps. The trash is often contagious or even highly
infectious. Heads of research units are trusted for the training of personnel
and for guaranteeing ideal segregation of garbage. Because of the nature of
the waste generated in research facilities, the following precautions should be
taken:
Extremely infectious garbage should be autoclaved or incinerated on site
whenever possible and should be handled only by trained and authorized
staff.
If on-site treatment is hard or wasteful, cooled storage facilities should be
offered and there should be a frequent collection by a contractor who has
appropriate incineration facilities.
Animal carcasses that cannot be destroyed as soon as possible after
experimentation should be retained at a temperature below -20C. Any
contractual plan for analysis by personnel outside the institution should
include right provisions for the safe handling and disposal of any waste.
Biotechnology laboratories may generate waste that presents special
dangers (such as genetically modified material) and that should in no
concerns be released into the environment. Management of such trash
needs additional precautions that are beyond the scope of this handbook.
