Questionnaires were distributed amongst 40 randomly selected authorities of government and private hospitals in Amravati. Responses to the questionnaire were coded and entered into Excel Sheet. Later data was tabulated and analyzed by various statistical methods as per need and results were found out from the collected data.The study revealed that the system of biomedical waste management should be improved and there is lack of necessary knowledge and information regarding biomedical waste management system. During study it was observed that waste is not collected at regular interval.
