Th required data were collected using a questionnaire approved by World Health Organization for hospital waste management through field survey. Data analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel and IBM SPSS softwares.Results: The average INFECTIOUS WASTE generated in IMAM-KHOMEINI HOSPITAL complex was 1380 kilogram per day. The average of waste produced in summer was significantly higher than those in spring (p<0.01). Results showed that separation of infectious and non-INFECTIOUS WASTE at the sources was not appropriatly performed in the hospital. Also the treatment of INFECTIOUS WASTE was conducted by hydroclave technology.Conclusion: According to the results, the high percentage of INFECTIOUS WASTE indicates many problems in segregation stage.
