QC to manage medical wastes

Proper disposal of medical wastes will soon be managed by the Quezon City government.

This after Mayor Herbert Bautista announced that the city government will soon be collecting waste materials generated by QC-based medical clinics to minimize the risks to public health and the environment.

“What the city government will be doing is to make sure that these waste materials are properly disposed in the most environment-friendly manner,” Bautista said.

“This is better instead of just allowing these wastes to be dumped illegally,” he added.

However, Bautista reminded clinic owners that the city government will be imposing certain fees for the collection and disposal of medical wastes.
