Environment and local nuisance
Hospital or hazardous waste dumped openly
Used syringes, blood-stained waste or chemical waste is found dumped in the open; this is hazardous waste and the pollution board acts first.
Start here
Report openly dumped hospital or hazardous waste to the pollution board at once, without touching it.
Who is responsible
Hospital and chemical waste found in the open is hazardous and is handled under a stricter regime than municipal waste, so the pollution board is the first authority rather than the local body. Do not touch or move such waste, and report the location with a photograph from a distance.
