Adequate facilities for the types and amounts of waste that must be handled; the location and design of waste chutes, and design of waste rooms; whether separate facilities are to be provided for the disposal of surgical and autopsy wastes; and the method of disposal are all essential factors to consider for both new or remodeled facilities. Consideration should be given to on-site incineration or hauling for off-site disposal, with emphasis on the placement and type of incinerator if incineration is chosen. Suitable storage, collection, and conveyance systems must be evaluated, keeping in mind such factors as the size of waste containers, facilities for cart and/or container washing, whether garbage grinders can be used, or whether a refrigerated room must be provided for storing the garbage until removed.
