The present study deals with the practices of managing the bio - medical wastes at the healt h care units in the local planning areas of Mysore city. The staffs of various major hospitals who handle these waste lacked the proper training. It was observed that Colombia Asia Hospital was the largest generator of autoclavable and shreddeble waste whe reas K.R.Hospital was the largest generator of incinerable waste in the year 2013. M / s. Shree Consultant has been given the responsibility for the collection, transportation, treatment and disposal of Bio - Medical Waste in Mysore City. Frequent training to the staffs handling these waste and stringent instructions and follow - ups by the management would help manage these wastes at source.
