Collection & transport of clinical waste 2. Storage of clinical waste 3. Treatment of clinical waste 4. Incineration of clinical waste 5. Provision of reusable and single use containers for clinical waste 6. Decontamination of reusable containers for clinical waste 7. Promoting waste segregation and compliance 8.
