In view of the importance of energy saving as well as conservation of resources, efficient recycling of solid waste is now global concern requiring extensive research and development works towards exploring newer application and maximizing use of existing technologies for sustainable and environmentally sound management. The solid wastes can primarily be categorized based on the place of generation viz., urban, rural, and industrial solid wastes. The urban solid wastes are further classified under residential, commercial, industrial, construction activities, bio-medical treatment plant wastes based on the source of solid waste generation. The components and their percentage distribution in the solid waste stream vary in the urban and rural solid wastes. Definition of medical waste vary in different countries and institutes as well, based on different categories of waste. In general, medical waste are waste arising from, diagnosis monitoring and preventive, curative or palliative activities in field of the veterinary and human medicine (Akter 2000). According to the U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and World health Organization (WHO), definition of medical waste have a view to aid in regulating it. Given the fact that the medical waste stream is an extremely complex one including chemicals, which could be hazardous, as also normal kitchen or office waste akin to municipal solid waste. Usually, medical wastes produced by hospitals, clinics, pathological laboratories, diagnostic centers, doctors’ offices, and other medical and research facilities. Recycling process is the best use of solid waste. If there have any opportunity of recycling of solid waste it should be done. Recycling helps saving water, energy and generates less contamination. It also reduces the amount of wastes to be collected, transported and disposed. Recycling can result in a more competitive economy and a cleaner environment and can contribute a more sustainable development. Recycling can provide social, economic and environmental benefits. So recycling must be needed for proper management.
