The dangerous waste generated by hospitals has become a serious hazard which threatens public life, so variation in the qualitative and quantitative composition of waste was worked out seasonally. The study also includes the observations on the separation of recyclable solid waste at source so as to evaluate net solid waste generation per day that needs disposal. In the last some recommendations are given in this paper.
