A biomedical waste burial pit is proposed towards the rear corner of the site far from the UGR to avoid contamination and to ensure proper disposal of hazardous medical waste under enclosed supervision. Access to the common public is not given to that zone. The pit is 4.5m in depth and 3m in width covered with 50 cm lime on the surface. On each occasion, when wastes are added to the pit, a layer of 10 cm of soil is added to cover the wastes. This method is so chosen to have proper on-site infectious waste treatment due to its remote location and distance from block municipality disposal.
